My old man's backhand used to land
Hard on the side of my head
I just learned to stay out of his way
There's been street fights, blue lights
Long nights with the world sittin' on my chest
It just showed me how much I could take
Hard times, bad luck
Sometimes life sucks

That's all right, I'm okay
It ain't nothin' but another day
But only God knows where I'd be
If you ever stopped lovin' me

The bank man, the boss man, the lawman
All tryin' to get their hands on me
And I ain't even done a danged thing wrong
I've been waylaid, freight-trained, short-changed
By bigger an' badder men
An' all I got to say is: "Bring it on."
Hard rain, rough road
So my life goes

That's all right, I'm okay
It ain't nothin' but another day
But only God knows where I'd be
If you ever stopped lovin' me

I need you
Gotta have you
In my life, on my side
Every day I'm alive
Every night when I'm greedy an' needing
You!

That's all right, I'm okay
It ain't nothin' but another day
But only God knows where I'd be
If you ever stopped lovin' me

It ain't nothin' but another day
But only God knows where I'd be
If you ever stopped lovin' me

Baby, never stop lovin' me

Ah, just see what your lovin' does to me
