I was raised up by my mamma alone

Worked herself into the grave

Trying to make us a home

She never left south carolina.

(No na)

Our old man didn't stick around to see me grown

He was long gone 'fore the coffee got cold

Wouldn't even know where to find him.

Whoa...

Wasn't strong enough

Whoa...

He wasn't strong enough.

Alright, alright, alright, alright.

I left home with nothing but a dream I had

All I own I could roll up in a paper bag

Getting out of south carolina

Alright.

I've been told there's gold in this land

All I know is what I hold in my own two hands

If it's out there I'm gonna find it.

Oh, am I strong enough?

Oh, am I strong enough?

Everywhere you turn there's another man slamming doors

Looking at you like he wouldn't even let you sweep his floors.

I was raised up by my mamma on her own

Worked herself into the grave

Trying to make us a home

Never left south carolina.

I left home with nothing but a dream I had

All I own I could hold in a paper bag

Getting out of south carolina.

Oh, am I strong enough?

Oh, tell me am I strong enough?

Oh, am I strong enough?

Oh, tell me am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

Oh, tell me

Am I strong enough?

Oh, got to tell me

Am I strong enough?

Oh, tell me

Am I strong enough?
