Hey there darling won’t you love me down
I’m 51 miles out in interstate town
I just decided I aint keeping quiet and I’m free
I lost my family to a bad disease
I got mean mean gene in my family tree
That grows in grandfather and his daughters and me ya see
And I want to stay humble I want to stay hungry
I want to hear my father say that he loves me
I never gave a shit about being arrogant anyway
So hold on tight cuz I be working overtime
They told me that I couldn’t and I shouldn’t even try
Ever since I was child been working for a while, overtime
They said I’s a wanna be cowboy from a cut throat town
Tattooed skin and nobody around
Your songs sound the same, you’ll never make a name for yourself
But I been scraping by my whole damn life
And grand daddy worked a double till the day he died
Said never let this worlds earthly pride get you down
No matter who you know no matter what you do
I’ll become what I deserve when it’s all through
And you’ll be there asking yourself why
So hold on tight cuz I be working overtime
They told me that I couldn’t and I shouldn’t even try
Ever since I was child been working for a while, overtime
