Things Are Lookin Up

She left in the winter, said her heart needed room

I said “I get it,” but it felt like a tomb

Couple weeks later, the call came through

“He’s gone,” and I just stared at the moon

Had his voice in my head, hers in my chest

Two empty seats at my Sunday rest

Didn’t know which loss hit me worse

But they both had me feelin’ cursed

I was prayin’ for a break, but breakin’ down instead

Tryna fake a smile with a bottle by the bed

But things are lookin’ up, yeah, the sky’s not gray

A little more blue shows every day

I still see her face in the rearview mirror

Still hear his laugh when I crack a beer

Every Coors Light’s like a front porch talk

And her name still echoes down a midnight walk

But I ain’t stuck, I’m climbin’ up

Yeah, things are lookin’ up

Packed up the past in a cardboard box

Left the town where we carved our thoughts

Found peace in the quiet, grace in the rain

Found myself through all that pain

I heard his voice say, “Boy, you’re stronger than you know”

So I wiped my eyes and hit that road

Now things are lookin’ up, yeah, the sun breaks through

In places I never thought it’d do

I still think of her when the sky turns pink

Still toast to him when I pour a drink

Every Coors Light’s like a call from above

And her name still stings, but it don’t cut

I ain’t stuck, I’m climbin’ up

Yeah, things are lookin’ up

Love and loss, they’ll bend your spine

But they don’t get to take your climb

They’ll haunt your nights, they’ll steal your sleep

But they can’t take what’s left in me

Things are lookin’ up, I got miles to go

But I’m drivin’ forward on a brand-new road

I still see her in dreams now and then

Still see his smile in the faces of friends

Every Coors Light’s like a handshake from heaven

And heartbreak fades when you stop regrettin’

I ain’t stuck, I’m climbin’ up

Yeah, things are lookin’ up

One’s a star I talk to at night

One’s a flame that’s startin’ to feel right

I still miss ‘em both, but I’ve had enough

Of holdin’ on — things are lookin’ up
