Lyrics
Upbeat modern country-folk song with female lead vocal. Confident, warm, slightly sarcastic tone. Acoustic guitar driven, stomp and clap rhythm, light banjo ro mandolin, uplifting chorus with harmony vocals. Tempo around 105 BPM. Inspirational but playful mood. Here is the build up: Still Standin’ Anyway Verse 1 Alarm clock’s quiet, don’t mind the sound, Funny how silence can still be loud. Coffee’s strong on the kitchen stove, Got miles to go though I ain’t on the road. Boots by the door, laces tied, Just ‘cause I’m home don’t mean I hide. Town keeps askin’, “What’s your plan?” I just grin and say, “You’ll see, my friend.” Pre-Chorus They can shuffle papers, pass my name, Act like it’s just another game. But I’ve been buildin’ long before Any title hung on a door. Chorus (Upbeat Hook) We ain’t lost, just in between, Sharpenin’ up what can’t be seen. Fire don’t fade just ‘cause it waits, Every storm clears out someday. Hey! — we’re still standin’ anyway, Hey! — stronger than yesterday. Call it a break, call it delay — We’re still standin’ anyway. Verse 2 (a little sass) “Impressive background,” “great résumé,” Funny how that don’t equal pay. “We’ll circle back,” well take your time, I’ve been circlin’ mountains, I’ll be fine. Kitchen table’s my office chair, Sent out hope with a quiet prayer. Silence rings but it don’t define The work ethic still inside. Pre-Chorus 2 (inclusive lift) And if you’re sittin’ there feelin’ small, Like maybe you’re the only one who fell — Lift your chin, dust off that doubt, We’re more than what’s playin’ out. Chorus (Bigger) We ain’t lost, just in between, Sharpenin’ up what can’t be seen. Fire don’t fade just ‘cause it waits, Every storm clears out someday. Hey! — we’re still standin’ anyway, Hey! — brighter than yesterday. Call it a break, call it delay — We’re still standin’ anyway. Bridge (Dignity Moment — strip instruments down first) You are not a silent phone. Not the hours spent alone. You’re the hands that built before, And you’ll build again — and more. Sometimes roads get rerouted wide, Sometimes pride’s your only ride. But storms don’t get the final say — They just pass and fade away. Final Chorus (Full Band, Harmonies, Claps) We ain’t lost, just in between, Diggin’ roots down deep and clean. Fire don’t fade just ‘cause it waits, Doors don’t close — they relocate. Hey! — we’re still standin’ anyway, Hey! — watch us find our way. Lean times don’t decide our fate — We’re still standin’ anyway.
