Lyrics
Verse 1
Hot Days, Humid Nights
Too many working hours for lifes fight
Overwhelming bills to pay
Won't fit it in in a day
Well I can't seem to get
Out of this deep pit
These dusty roads
Drive a whole in my spirit
Chorus
(But) I can't give up, No I, I won't give in
Cause my Daddy said you're my kin
Baby it's in your name, We have no shame
My Momma said - one rule - We don't quit
Verse 2
7-3, 6-12
My feet hurt like hell
At night I pray
It will get better someday
I go to bed I can't sleep
What will tomorrow reep
Living up to my family name
Fills me with pride and pain
Chorus
Bridge
Workin hard everyday, Is my family's way
Be proud of who you are, quitting won't take you far
The town knows who I am and that'll do the best I can (note ends on C)
Solo
Break into Chorus
