lyrics

The Still Standing Blues
(c) Shawn Chamberlin 2020

You can burn me down
Spread your smoke around
You can close the street at my door.
When the river floods
And we’re all under mud

I’m STILL STANDING with both feet on the floor

I’ve got the STILL STANDING Blues
Got wet feet, muddy shoes
Why does it have to be so tough to make ‘a Go’?
Like a dog with a bone
Although my savings are blown

I’m STILL STANDING with both feet on the floor

Close my street for repair
You can’t even walk there
Spread a virus that scares them all away
But when the crying’s done
And rebuilding’s begun

We’re STILL STANDING We’re not going away

I’ve got the STILL STANDING Blues
Mask and sanitizer too
I’m tenacious to a fault, too dumb to quit.
I’ll smile when you are here
Then cry in my beer

I’m STILL STANDING ‘cause there’s no time to sit.
I’m STILL STANDING ‘cause there’s no place to sit.
I’m STILL STANDING ‘ I’m the one who gives a sh.. CARE…
