# Maren Morris’ ‘The Bones’ is Still #1

Country star Maren Morris’ tack “The Bones” has aged very well. Considering that the track has stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 weeks (and is still #1 on country charts), and The Rolling Stone Top 100 for 38, it has stayed current and hot for nearly a year past the song’s release.

“The Bones” was released as the second single for Morris’ second studio album, Girl. The country singer co-wrote the song with Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz, and it was produced by Greg Kurstin. “The Bones” was released digitally as a promotional single on February 22, 2019 and was later serviced to hot adult contemporary radio on May 20, 2019 as the first international single. A remix of the song with Irish singer Hozier was released on October 4, 2019.

Check out the lyrics and the official music video below.

We’re in the homestretch of the hard times  
 We took a hard left, but we’re alright  
 Yeah, life sure can try to put love through it, but  
 We built this right, so nothing’s ever gonna move it  
 When the bones are good, the rest don’t matter  
 Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter  
 Let it rain ’cause you and I remain the same  
 When there ain’t a crack in the foundation  
 Baby, I know any storm we’re facing  
 Will blow right over while we stay put  
 The house don’t fall when the bones are good  
 Call it dumb luck, but baby, you and I  
 Can’t even mess it up, although we both try  
 No, it don’t always go the way we planned it  
 But the wolves came and went and we’re still standing  
 When the bones are good, the rest don’t matter  
 Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter  
 Let it rain ’cause you and I remain the same  
 When there ain’t a crack in the foundation  
 Baby, I know any storm we’re facing  
 Will blow right over while we stay put  
 The house don’t fall when the bones are good  
 When the bones are good  
 Bones are good, the rest, the rest don’t matter (baby, it don’t really matter)  
 Paint could peel, the glass could shatter (oh, the glass, oh, the glass could shatter)  
 Bones are good, the rest, the rest don’t matter (ooh)  
 Paint could peel, the glass, the glass could shatter (yeah)  
 When the bones are good, the rest don’t matter  
 Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter  
 Let it rain (let it rain, let it rain)  
 ‘Cause you and I remain the same (woo)  
 When there ain’t a crack in the foundation (woo)  
 Baby, I know any storm we’re facing  
 Will blow right over while we stay put  
 The house don’t fall when the bones are good  
 Yeah, ooh
