Stand in the Storm Lyrics

by Meat Loaf

This stone splits right down the middle
Theres rich and poor, black and white
Right down thru the saints and the sinners
And the ones who might
This world is tough as a splinter
There's ones that flinch and ones that fight
'round here you can sure tell the difference
'tween the rocks and the rolling dice
I know I'm gonna stick with ya when the hard times hit

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e72358-meat_loaf~stand_in_the_storm_lyrics.html ]
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
And ride them 24's
Be strong enough to lean on...
I'll show ya what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand ...

Nobody likes a white-flag quitter
Leaves ya there, tucks and runs
Life's coming and it hits like a hammer
Kicks like a shotgun
I aint out here lookin for trouble,
I'm no stranger to an uphill fight
Ya need a hand when it all starts slippin
You can bet I'm gonna hold on tight
Well, ya know I'm gonna stick with ya when the hard times hit

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
And ride them 24's
Be strong enough to lean on...
I'll show ya what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm

What What Okay.. yeah yeah yeah yeah
So tough, I keep it rough
Wont back down I laugh at these clowns
Me and my crew, we keep it crunk-tight
Live your what? This is MY life
I stick my chest out so theres no doubt
I had enough, know trust when I must
As I sung thru the rain the pain rushes thru my veins but still I maintain
Take out all my duties, insane like Busey
Now who wants to mess with it...
Now I see I'm the best Daddy,
You just like the rest Daddy,
I'm sick like a MacDaddy,
But aint no intervention,
Just your apprehension and then your dissention
Shots till ya go, sent ya home screamin "no, Backbone!"
That's how we show you what a backbone's for baby...
Let's go!

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
And ride them 24's
Be strong enough to lean on...
Show ya what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
And ride them 24's
Be strong enough to lean on...
Show ya what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Show ya what a backbone
Show ya what a backbone
Show ya what a backbone's for..
