Woke up on the right side of rock bottom You're all out of pennies, and the well it done run dry Light 'em up and smoke 'em if you had 'em, But you just ain't got 'em Ain't we always looking for a bluer sky
If you're ever gonna find a silver lining It's gotta be a cloudy day, It's gotta be a cloudy day If you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning, You're gonna have to stand in the rain, Gonna have to stand in the rain You wear your heart on a ripped unraveled sleeve Been rung through the ringer and pushed up to your limit You say you're just unlucky, but luck ain't what you need
Cause if you're ever gonna find a four leaf clover You gotta get a little dirt on your hands Gotta get a little dirt on your hands If you wanna find a head to fit your shoulder You're gonna have to go to the dance Gonna have to go to the dance
If you wanna find the honey, You can't be scared of the bees And if you wanna see the forest, You're gonna have to look past the trees, baby
Cause if you're ever gonna find a silver lining It's gotta be a cloudy day, It's gotta be a cloudy day And if you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning, You're gonna have to stand in the rain, Gonna have to stand in the rain
