Worth It
Luke and Ryan Lyrics

For what it's worth
Despite the value society places on things, everything is ultimately temporary and fleeting.

A nickels just a nickel son
Material possessions hold only the value we give them.

Your pleasure becomes your pain
The things that give us pleasure often lead to our pain and downfall.

It's gonna hurt
Change and growth often come with pain and discomfort.

Your out on the road
Life is a journey that we must travel alone.

Your just an old horse walking alone
We become weary and tired from the miles we've traveled.

Shaken off the miles been rode
We must shake off the weariness and keep moving forward.

Pardon me
Excuse me for interrupting your current perspective on life.

Through the valley of the shadows
Life is often full of pain and darkness.

Wickedness unravels
Bad things happen to good people, often because of the actions of others.

Some crooked man
There are people in the world who will take advantage of others.

Dealing cards to an honest man
Taking advantage of someone who is honest and naive.

Stealing up all his farming land
Taking something that belongs to someone else, leaving them with nothing.

It's a damn shame
Expressing frustration and disappointment in the situation.

His oldest son is starving now
The actions of the crooked man have created a dire situation for someone else.

There ain't no mule to pull the plow
They don't have the resources to continue farming and survive.

There ain't no rain
The situation is further exacerbated by a lack of resources outside of their control.

Cause all the crops are burning dry
The environment is not cooperating, creating even more hardship.

Except for the tear in his mama's eye
The raw emotion and pain caused by this situation is felt by everyone involved.

In her eye
The emotional response to tragedy is seen in the eyes of those affected.

Everything is fine
Sometimes we put on a façade to hide the reality of a grim situation.

With one touch
With one small change or event, everything can turn upside down.

The water turns to rust
Things that were once pure and good can become corrupted and worthless.

Tell me who is there to trust
In a world full of turmoil and dishonesty, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Anymore
Trust and honesty seem to be in short supply these days.

Your falling fast
Life can quickly spiral out of control.

You're just a rock in glass
We can feel fragile and vulnerable in the face of life's challenges.

Running from your shattered past
We often try to avoid dealing with the pain and trauma of our past.

Tell me all you need
Asking what someone truly needs to find happiness and fulfillment.

Is a guitar string and a bended knee
Finding joy and comfort in something as simple as music and a humble posture.

A country boy, that's all you need to be
Embracing one's identity and roots can lead to contentment and peace.

Think I'm in tune
Feeling aligned and at peace with oneself and the world.

Always gotta be a fucking train
Life is constantly moving forward, and it can be hard to keep up.

Sometimes I can't recall
Memory can be faulty and our past experiences can be distorted.

What's left of me
Past trauma and experiences can take a toll on us, leaving us feeling lost and broken.

Laughter on my back been peeled on off
Happiness and joy can be fleeting and slip away from us.

And the past is always catching up with me
Our pasts can haunt us and affect our present and future.

But I'm tired of stepping on memories and walking on
It can be exhausting to constantly be confronted with and carrying the weight of our past.

If you could only see the best in me
Wishing to be accepted and seen for one's true worth.

I wouldn't have to pick the guitar or write you a song
Using art and creativity as a way to cope with pain and express oneself.

But you only be what you can see
People often judge and perceive others based on what they see on the surface, rather than taking the time to get to know them.

And I guess the heart don't always come with the soul
We can be disconnected from our true selves and emotions, leaving us feeling lost.

I think I'll go on and call my mama
Turning to family and loved ones for support and comfort.

Tell her I loving you if I ever did ever drove me away
Acknowledging past mistakes and expressing love and appreciation for those in our lives.

It wasn't that I didn't want to stick around
Explaining the reasons for past actions and behaviors.

Just I couldn't find the courage in the bottom of the bottle to stay
Struggling with addiction and the courage to face one's problems and challenges head-on.

Well around my old man cleared up
The fog of confusion and uncertainty is lifting.

Well then tell him that everything will be okay
Assuring someone else of the potential for a positive future.

And even if you can't give up on the drinking
Acknowledging continued struggles and hurdles in the journey to recovery.

Well I guess I couldn't either and I still gonna love you anyways
Offering unconditional love and support despite ongoing challenges and obstacles.

Well I called my sister out in vegas
Turning to family and loved ones for support and comfort.

Well and tell her to roll the dice for me
Taking a chance and trusting in the potential for good fortune.

And if you help me I'll help you roll you a seven
Offering support and assistance to others in hopes of achieving mutual success.

Well I hope you can buy you a pretty house out in la
Wishing for the best and hoping for something good in return.

This is the best in me
Expressing oneself and sharing one's art and creativity as a way of being true to oneself.
