Life is just not fair (Remastered)

[Verse 1] Well, my dad taught me that life is just not fair Said it with a wrench in his hand and oil on his shirt I was eight years old on the porch steps staring at the dirt Trying to understand why the good still get hurt He said, "Son, keep walking" when the road turns mean "Don't wait for the world to hand you anything" So I learned to bite my tongue and carry my weight Learned the hard way early how to bend, not break [Pre-Chorus] And I still hear his voice when the cold wind hits When the bills pile up and the whole thing slips I take a breath and I stand my ground 'Cause some lessons only live when they knock you down [Chorus] Life is just not fair life is just not fair But I keep my hands up I keep my hands there Life is just not fair life is just not fair Still I show up anyway still I show up there [Verse 2] Now I'm old enough to see what he meant by that The cleanest plans can crack like a window pane The sweetest name can vanish with the evening rain And the ones you swear will stay can change But I got his work boots by the back door still And I lace them up when the morning's still I don't need a perfect run I don't need a sign Just a little more light and a little more time [Pre-Chorus] And I still hear his voice when the cold wind hits When the bills pile up and the whole thing slips I take a breath and I stand my ground 'Cause some lessons only live when they knock you down [Chorus] Life is just not fair life is just not fair But I keep my hands up I keep my hands there Life is just not fair life is just not fair Still I show up anyway still I show up there [Bridge] Maybe that was love the rough kind A hard truth passed down like a family line He didn't promise roses He promised the road And taught me how to carry what I never chose [Chorus] Life is just not fair life is just not fair But I keep my hands up I keep my hands there Life is just not fair life is just not fair Still I show up anyway still I show up there [Outro] Well, my dad taught me that life is just not fair And I hear him in me everywhere
