Joe Nichols - We All Carry Something lyrics

[Verse 1] She was born with her mama’s eyes Her mama’s laugh, her mama’s smile Her mamas taste for sweet red wine So at night she grips the bottle tight We all carry something [Chorus] He was raised in a trailer park Where cops don’t go after dark When his daddy hit, he hit real hard Still walks around with those battle scares We all carry something [Verse 2] That makes us who we are Standing in the rain Or deep within our hearts There in lies the pain Know you’re not alone So keep holding on [Chorus 2] He works Chicago’s southside Totes a badge and a forty-five Watches drug dealers and babies die Sometimes a man can’t help but cry We all carry something [Chorus 3] And there’s an Army Green Purple Heart Went to fight for the stripes and stars Brought back to war from land afar Still wears that shrapnel in his arm We all carry something [Chorus 4] That makes us who we are Standing in the rain Or deep within our hearts Therein lies the pain Know you’re not alone So keep holding on We all carry something [Bridge] Yeah, keep holding on And know you’re not alone Before he died on the tree Before they nailed his hands and feet He walked right through those city streets Carrying the sins of you and me [Outro] We all carry something
