Solid
Solid Ground: Embracing Life's Imperfections with Eric Church
Lyrics
I don't own nothin' new
I don't possess anything new
I might look like a mess to you
My appearance may seem messy to you
But I'm solid
Nevertheless, I am dependable and strong
This ol' thing I drive around
The vehicle I drive is old
Got some rust, makes some funny sounds
It has some rust and makes odd noises
But it's paid for and solid
However, it's fully paid for and reliable
You may think I'm way too chill
You might perceive me as very relaxed
But I get it done, got my daddy's will
But I am effective, driven by my father's determination
And I'll always, I'll always keep a promise
I consistently keep my promises
In a great big world, spinnin' around
In a vast world, full of uncertainty
People walkin' around on shaky ground
People navigate life on unstable ground
My foundation's solid
Yet, my foundation is steadfast
Like a vessel gettin' tossed on the big blue sea
Similar to a ship tossed in the vast sea
Tryin' to rock me off my feet
Facing challenges trying to destabilize me
It's you that keeps me solid
You are the one who keeps me strong and reliable
Everybody wants me to think like they do
People want me to conform to their thinking
Put my faith in somethin' new
Urge me to have faith in new things
But this old school is tried and true, it's solid
But my traditional ways are proven and reliable
Got these 501's back in '93
These 501 jeans date back to '93
Yeah the blue's all gone, you can see my knees
The blue color has faded, revealing my worn knees
But to me man, they're still solid
Yet, to me, they remain durable and dependable
This old scarred-up piece of wood
This old, scarred piece of wood
Sounds a lot better than it looks
Sounds better than it looks
I can't count the nights that it's caught me when I was fallin'
It has supported me during numerous difficult times
In a great big world, spinnin' around
In the vast world, constantly in motion
People walkin' around on shaky ground
People navigate life on shaky ground
My foundation's solid
Yet, my foundation remains solid
Like a vessel gettin' tossed on the big blue sea
Similar to a vessel tossed in the vast sea
Tryin' to knock me off my feet
Trying to knock me off my feet
It's you that keeps me solid
You are the one that keeps me strong and reliable
It's been a lotta years since I've taken this road home
Many years have passed since I took this road home
It's still not paved, Mama and Daddy's gone
The path is still unpaved, and my parents are no longer here
But the gravel in my soul is solid
Yet, the challenges in my soul have made me resilient
