Follow along with the lyrics to Bailey Zimmerman's standout hit.
Bailey Zimmerman’s debuted at No. 2 on Hot Country Songs upon its release in June.
He cut “Rock and a Hard Place” after first hearing one of the song’s co-writers, Heath Warren, perform it on his Instagram page. “When I listen to outside cuts, I’m listening for the very first line,” he told Billboard. “If it doesn’t grab me, I’m like, ‘No.’ But as soon as I heard that on Heath’s Instagram, and I heard the line, ‘Like swinging and missing,’ I knew that I wanted to cut it. It was [in the] perfect key and everything.”

We’ve been swingin’ and missin’ It ain’t broke yet, but damn, it needs fixin’ Been a while since your kiss felt like kissin’ It’s just different
We’ve been talkin’ ’bout forever since we’ve been together Somethin’ ’bout a ring makes you think we’re better off with All this but we’re caught in
Between a rock and a hard place Red wine and mistakes Tears rollin’ down your face When I walked out that door And that’s when I lost it A midnight in Austin Damn, I’m exhausted What the hell’s this all for? Is this where it mends or it breaks? Between a rock and a hard place
For the record, shit Throwin’ in the towel takes some effort So I’d rather ride it out for better weather Together
Between a rock and a hard place Red wine and mistakes Tears rollin’ down your face When I walked out that door And that’s when I lost it A midnight in Austin Damn, I’m exhausted What the hell’s this all for? Is this where it mends or it breaks? Between a rock and a hard place
We’ve been talkin’ ’bout forever since we’ve been together Something ’bout a ring makes you think we’re better off with All this but we’re caught in
Between a rock and a hard place Tears rollin’ down your face As I walked out that door And that’s when I lost it Midnight in Austin Damn, I’m exhausted What the hell’s this all for? Is this where it mends or it breaks? How much more of this can we take?
