verse 1 :
A
well i grew up in one of them old farm towns
D
where they hit it hard till the sun goes down
C D
nobody really seemed to care that we were living in the middle of nowhere

we just figured that’s how it was

and everybody else was just like us
C
soaking in the rain , baking in the sun
D
don’t quit till the job gets done

A
that’s the only way i know
D
don’t stop till everything’s gone
C
straight ahead never turn round
D
don’t back up , don’t back down
A
full throttle wide open
D
you get tired , you don’t show it
C D
dig a little deeper when you think you can’t dig no more

verse 2 :
A
that old red dirt the first thing you learn
D
you don’t get nothing that you don’t earn
C
humble pride that i grew up on
D
you find out just how bad you want it
A
sun in our eyes backs to the fences
D
didn’t know the odds were against us
C
hit the wall smoking and spinning
D
still wasn’t thinking ’bout nothing but winning

these are the chords , as to weather or not they’re fingered the right way can be
up for debate . . . there’s some lead solos and fills too , but i’m more of a rhythm
player , so i just worked on rhythm guitar . . .
