[Verse 1: Meat Loaf with Mark McGrath] This town splits right down the middle There's rich and poor, black and white Right down thru the saints and the sinners And the ones who might This world is tough as a splinter There's ones that flinch and ones that fight Round here you can sure tell the difference 'tween the rocks and the rolling types [Pre-Chorus] I know I'm gonna stick with ya When the hard times hit [Chorus] Somebody's gotta stand in the storm In the lightning, when it pours Be strong enough to lean on Show you what a backbone's for Somebody's gotta stand in the storm Somebody's gotta stand… in the storm [Verse 2: Trace Atkins with Mark McGrath] Well, nobody likes a white flag quitter Leaves you there, tucks and runs Life's comin' and it hits like a hammer Kicks like a shotgun I ain't out here looking for trouble I'm no stranger to an uphill fight You need a hand when it all starts slipping? You can bet I'm-a hold on tight [Pre-Chorus] Well, you know I'm gonna stick with ya When the hard times hit [Chorus] Somebody's gotta stand in the storm In the lightning, when it pours Be strong enough to lean on Show you what a backbone's for Somebody's gotta stand in the storm Somebody's gotta stand in the storm [Lil Jon] What? What? Okay Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [Verse 3] So tough, I keep it rough Won't back down, I laugh at these clowns Me and my crew, we keep it Trump-tight Live yours boy—this is my life I stick my chest out so there's no doubt I had enough, no trust, win I must As I stomp through the rain The pain rushes through my vein But I still maintain Nahhh! Checked out, I'm off duty Insane like Busey Now who wants test weee…? Now see I'm the best at it You just like the rest at it I'm sick like a meth addict But ain't no intervention Just your apprehension And then your dissension Shots to your dome Send you home Screaming no backbone 'Cause I will show you what a backbone's for, baby Let's go! [Chorus (Lil Jon ad-libs)] Somebody's gotta stand in the storm In the lightning, when it pours Be strong enough to lean on Show you what a backbone's for Somebody's gotta stand in the storm In the lightning, when it pours Be strong enough to lean on Show you what a backbone's for Somebody's gotta stand in the storm [Lil Jon:] Somebody Somebody's gotta stand in the storm [Outro: All] Show you what a backbone— Show you what a backbone— Show you what a backbone's for.... [Meat Loaf (Lil Jon ad-libs):] Somebody's gotta stand in the storm Somebody's gotta stand in the storm Somebody gotta Somebody gotta, yeah Somebody's gotta stand in the storm.... (The storm is coming)
