We some back breakin', bill payin', get it Gotta do it all paintbrush strokin' framers Carpenters with table saws Buckwild crazy, gettin' loose on the weekend Smile on our face even though We never seem to win Back breakin', bill payin', get it Gotta do it all paintbrush strokin' framers Carpenters with table saws Buckwild crazy, gettin' loose on the weekend Smile on our face even though We never seem to win I do it for the people wakin' up The early crack of dawn rips in our jeans Put the pot of black coffee on Look into the mirror wishin' for A better day at least Can't afford a house so they struggle Just to rent or lease Tattoos on my body, no shirt Still I'm wearin' sleeves Contractors, landscapers Bills look like a pile of leaves Negativity just tryna reign up On my reckless skin Pray to God before we sleep We always stay committin' sins I'm askin' for forgiveness even though I don't deserve it Man, this crazy way of life I don't think that we'll ever learn it But we try to stand strong, make it 24 hours All to feed the kids and cloth'em, love 'em Give 'em all the shower We got murder in the news Do you got a gun beside your bed? White is the stripes, blue days Blood is always red Government is actin' like we love A game of Simon Says But I ain't buyin' shit Put some taxes on them adjectives We some back breakin', bill payin', get it Gotta do it all paintbrush strokin' framers Carpenters with table saws Buckwild crazy, gettin' loose on the weekend Smile on our face even though We never seem to win Back breakin', bill payin', get it Gotta do it all paintbrush strokin' framers Carpenters with table saws Buckwild crazy, gettin' loose on the weekend Smile on our face even though We never seem to win Cigarettes smokin' just to take Away a little stress Additives inside 'em just to kill You quicker dude I bet People always take me as a Idiotic piece of shit but I'm a old soul This ain't first time I've made life regrets Reincarnation, son, nobody knows my glory 'Cause when I was only four I was explainin' war stories Yeah, this life ain't shit Except of all of what you make it What is you when you're you When you strip butt naked 'Cause my roots are in a small town I won't ever bog down Always love a sip of Jack and Kickin' up that Cheatham ground And when I'm dead and gone One day I'll be back 'Cause a spirit like mine don't Get lost in pitch black I'm a man of many mystery I'm surfin' throughout history Just tryin' to find a purpose on A reason why I co-exist And if I ever found it it was in 1991 Nashville, Tennessee, born in a hailstorm We some back breakin', bill payin', get it Gotta do it all paintbrush strokin' framers Carpenters with table saws Buckwild crazy, gettin' loose on the weekend Smile on our face even though We never seem to win Back breakin', bill payin', get it Gotta do it all paintbrush strokin' framers Carpenters with table saws Buckwild crazy, gettin' loose on the weekend Smile on our face even though We never seem to win
