Get back up

(Edward McBride)

This song is about a country singer who reaches a very low point in his life, his girlfriend told him to leave and he is left with a pickup truck, a guitar, and a big dog called Pete. He does get back up, dreams of Nashville, and then it all happens for him -----and Pete.

My life is empty
you let me go
You chose another
you said just go
My old Ford pickup
it sleeps just two
Just me and Pete
and one guitar

Chorus

When you are low
 it strikes you hard
to get back up
it sure takes guts 
I did climb up
and made it happen
Just me and Pete
my great big dog

My voice is good
I am a busker
moneys good
I make ends meet
I love to sing
and write some songs
I dream of Nashville
Fans come to hear me play

Chorus

When you are low
it strikes you hard
to get back up
it sure takes guts
I did climb up
and make it happen
Just me and Pete
my great big dog

The guy stood listening
to me sing and play
Hey dude come to Nashville
I recorded some songs and they went viral
The fans just loved my
unique voice
They came and filled
The Grand Ole Opry

Chorus

When you are low
it strikes you hard
to get back up
it sure takes guts
I did climb up
and make it happen
Just me and Pete
my great big dog
