Hey there, darling, won't you love me down?

I'm 51 miles out in interstate town

I just decided I ain't keeping quiet, and I'm free.

I lost my family to a bad disease

I got a mean, mean gene in my family tree

That grows in grandfather, and his daughters, and me, ya see.

And I wanna stay humble, I wanna stay hungry

I wanna hear my father say that he loves me

I never gave a shit about being arrogant anyway.

So hold on tight

'cause I'll 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

With 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 granddaddy worked a double 'til 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

'cause I'll 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.
