Out in the mountains, the rain pouring down
The thunders-a-howlin' and there's no one around
I've got mud on my face and a lot on my mind
A few hundred more miles on these hills that I climb

I can see my own breath in the middle of the day
It's a lonely July when the summer runs away
So Father oh Father would you open your sky
Please give this cold day that 'ol sun to shine

[Chorus]
It's times like these, make you feel so alive
A little chill in the bones, and little mud in your eye
You can't get up unless you've fallen down, down, down
Life ain't always easy

The fire's still burning, but barely alive
If you try to get warm, you'll get smoke in your eyes
The coffee is cold and the whiskey's all gone
Hasn't been any better since yesterday's dawn

[Chorus]

In this life I have learned you can always get by
Sometimes it starts with a tear in the eye
So give what you can, because it's really all yours
Some days it rains and some days it pours (x2)

[Chorus]
