Tiffany Alvord Both Of Us
I wish I was strong enough to lift
Not one, but both of us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift
Not one, but both of us
Ever thought about losing it?
When your money's all gone and you lose your whip
You might lose your grip
When the landlord tell you that you're due for rent
And the grass so green on the other side
Make you even wanna run straight through the fence
Open up the fridge about twenty times
But still can't find no food in it
That's foolishness
Sometimes I wonder why we care so much
About the way we look, and the way we talk,
And the way we act, and the clothes we bought
How much did that cost?
Does it even really matter?
Cause if life is an uphill battle
We all tryina climb up the same old ladder
In the same boat with the same old paddle
Why so shallow? I'm just asking
What's the pattern to the madness?
Everybody hitting number one traffic
Most of us ain't Hollywood actors
But if it's all for one and one for all
Then maybe one day we all could bow
Do it one time for the underdogs
Sincerely yours, I'm one of y'all
I wish I was strong enough to lift
Not one, but both of us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift
Not one, but both of us
I can feel your pain, I can feel your trouble
You're just wanna live, but everything's so low
That you could drown in a puddle
That's why I gotta hold this up, yeah, hold this up
For all the times no one ever spoke for us
So every single time that they play this song
You can say that's what Bobby Ray wrote for us
When the tides get too high
And the sea up underneath it is so deep
And you feel like
You're just another person getting lost in crowd
Way up high in the nosebleed
Cause we've both been there
Yeah, both of us
But we still stand tall with our shoulders up
And even though we always against the odds
These are the things that have molded us
And if life hadn't chosen us
Sometimes I wonder where I would've wound up
If it was up to me, I'd make a new blueprint
Damn, build it from the ground up, hey
But if it's all for one and one for all
Then maybe one day we all could bow
Do it one time for the underdogs
From Bobby Ray to all of y'all
I wish I was strong enough to lift
Not one, but both of us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift
Not one, but both of us
