What Doesn't Kill You Songtext
von Randall King

For all my clock in, clock out, night shift, dog-tired people
Working overtime
For all my sun up, sun down, take the tractor ′nother round praying
That the grain goes high
When it rains we make it pour on a barstool, on a back porch
When it's gone, we gonna get a little more

What doesn′t kill you makes your drinks stronger
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
The hard stuff will make your buzz longer
The longer buzz will keep you lit like a neon light
Oh, when life knocks you down
Knock 'em back and pour ′em taller
What doesn′t kill you
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

She was a 12 out a ten, she could break a neck walking in
My ride or die until the end, my little country queen
When she left, she left a scar and sent me straight into the bar
Said, you can take it from me


What doesn′t kill you makes your drinks stronger
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
The hard stuff will make your buzz longer
The longer buzz will keep you lit like a neon light
Oh, when life knocks you down
Knock ′em back and pour 'em taller
What doesn′t kill you
What doesn't kill you makes your drinks stronger

Sometimes the cure from the blues is a bar crowd
Sometimes the only way through is to throw down
And that's the ice-cold truth, just drink a mile in my boots
I′m a living proof

What doesn′t kill you makes your drinks stronger
And stronger drinks make you feel like you're feeling alright
The hard stuff will make your buzz longer
And longer buzz will keep you lit like a neon light
Oh, when life knocks you down
Knock ′em back and pour 'em taller (our ′em taller)
What doesn't kill you
What doesn′t kill you makes your drink stronger

Pour 'em strong, son
