She grew up holding her brother and sister in the back seat of a Saturday night, found her way to badges against every wish her parents ever breathed, walked through four wrong men and came out the other side, and raised nine children — only four from her blood. She Never Stayed Down is a full-life tribute to five foot four of nerve and grace, the woman who closed a bar and was home before sunrise, who kept a little devil riding shotgun every single day, and who God Himself knew better than to step in front of. She was her mama. Every bit of her. - Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1] She grew up in the back seat of a Saturday night Her parents found the bar long before they found the light So she held her little brother, kept her sister close and fed Seven years old being mama to the ones who needed led

[Refrain — quiet, just voice and steel guitar] She never stayed down

[Verse 2] At thirteen she ran hard just to find another cage They dragged her back and locked her in, imprisoned by her age But she found her way to badges, found her way to the law Against every single wish her parents ever breathed or ever saw

[Refrain] She never stayed down

[Verse 3] She walked through four wrong men who showed her what she knew Same hard hands, same hollow words, just different residue Then number five rode in and finally showed her how it's done Treated her like royalty — the queen she'd always been

[Refrain] She never stayed down

[Verse 4] She raised up nine children — only four came from her blood The rest just needed somebody solid in the flood Five foot four of something you could never overrun Her eyes would tell you everything before the words begun

[Refrain] She never stayed down

[Verse 5] She kept a little devil riding shotgun every day That rowdy little passenger who always led the way Fierce when she was silent Bulletproof when she was not God help the one who thought they knew exactly what they'd got

[Refrain] She never stayed down

[Verse 6 — the tender one] She knew how to close a bar down and be back before the sun She was every bit my best friend when the day was said and done She was my mama — all five foot four of nerve and grace And even God knew better than to step into her space

[Final Chorus — open it all the way up] She never stayed down, no she never stayed down You could knock her flat and she'd come back around She was every natural disaster all rolled into one And God help you if you thought that could be undone She left us on a Mother's Day — twenty twenty came too soon And if Saint Peter had any sense at all He stepped aside and let her through She never stayed down Her legacy remains
