Lyrics
Verse 1
The fence blew down on a Monday morningGate was hanging by one hingeWe found the wire, we found the pliersPut it back before the wind could winCoffee black in a chipped-up mugBoots by the door, truck won't startYou said, "Well, that's the hand we're holding"I said, "Then deal it from the heart"
Pre‑Chorus
We don't need a sermon, don't need a signJust a little more grit and a little more timeIf the road turns rough, we lean in harderOne more step, then one more farther
Chorus
We don't complain, we fix what breaksWe stand by every choice we makeSigned up for the ride, so ride it all the wayIf we don't like where we're headed, we change the wayHey, change the wayYeah, change the wayWe don't complain, we fix what breaks
Verse 2
Rent went up and the hours got cutBoss talked big, but the check stayed smallWe sat down at the kitchen tableDrew a new map on the grocery billSold the old boat, took the night shiftLearned a trade from a man named RayAin't no shame in changing horsesShame's in wishing while you stay
Pre‑Chorus
We don't need permission, don't need applauseWe know the cost and we know the causeWhen the door locks, we make anotherWhen the plan bends, we bend it farther
Chorus
We don't complain, we fix what breaksWe stand by every choice we makeSigned up for the ride, so ride it all the wayIf we don't like where we're headed, we change the wayHey, change the wayCome on, change the wayWe don't complain, we fix what breaks
Bridge
You and me, one old steel stringA quiet room and a stubborn dreamNo one promised easy, no one promised fairBut we chose this life, and we're still right there
Final Chorus
We don't complain, we fix what breaksWe stand by every choice we makeSigned up for the ride, so ride it all the wayIf we don't like where we're headed, we change the wayRaise your glass, let the whole room sayWe change the wayYeah, change the wayWe don't complain, we fix what breaksWe don't complain, we fix what breaks
Outro
If it ain't right, we make it rightIf it won't move, we change the lineSigned up for it, come what mayDon't complain—we change the way
