Stretch Arm Strong The Truth About Iowa lyrics

Standing at a crossroad snow still falling down
Misery loves company and a companion could be found
What started as a conquest had ended in defeat
The way we were, the things we said and all I won't repeat

New years eve, ain't all its cracked up to be?
I've seen the best and heard the worst and everything in between
18 hrs is such a long, long time
And the sting of painful words destroy us inside

Our silence can say so much
And our words pack a painful punch
Nothing can take away the memories of that day
And I was so sure that we'd fade away, fade away


Adversity makes us stronger
So can we make this last a little longer?
Can we put aside the competition
That resides in all of us, in all of us?

I know it's in me and I've seen it in you
But I set my sights on seeing this one through
I am gonna see it through, I know that we'll never fully agree
But it's worth my time and it's worth the risk because this is family
