What Doesn't Kill You Lyrics

For all my clock-in, clock-out, nightshift, dog-tired people working overtime
For all my sun-up, sun-down
Take-the-tractor-'nother-round
Prayin' that the grain grows high
When it rains, we make it pour on a bar stool, on a back porch
When it's gone, we gonna get a little more

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer
A longer buzz'll keep you lit like a neon light
Oh, when life knocks you down
Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller
What doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

She was a 12 out of 10
She could break a neck walking in
My ride-or-die, until the end, my little country queen
But when she left, she left a scar
And sent me straight into the bar
So you can take it from me

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer
A longer buzz'll keep you lit like a neon light
Oh, when life knocks you down
Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller
What doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

Sometimes, the cure for the blues is a bar crowd
Sometimes, the only way through is to throw down
And that's the ice-cold truth
Just drink a mile in my boots
I'm the living proof

What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
The hard stuff'll make you buzz longer
A longer buzz keeps you lit like a neon light
Oh, when life knocks you down
Knock 'em back and pour 'em taller
What doesn't kill you
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger
Pour 'em up strong, son
