The Only Way I Know

Well, I grew up in one of them old farm towns

Where they hit it hard 'til the sun goes down

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

Soaking in the rain baking in the sun

Don’t quit 'til the job gets done

That’s the only way I know

Don’t stop 'til everything’s gone

Straight ahead, never turn round

Don’t back up, don’t back down

Full throttle, wide open

You get tired and you don’t show it

Dig a little deeper when you think you can’t dig no more

That’s the only way I know

That old red dirt ‒ the first thing you learn

Is you don’t get nothing that you don’t earn

Humble pride that I grew up on

You find out just how bad you want it

Sun in our eyes backs to the fences

We didn’t know the odds were against us

Hit the wall smoking and spinning

Still wasn’t thinking ‘bout nothing but winning

That’s the only way I know

Don’t stop 'til everything’s gone

Straight ahead, never turn round

Don’t back up, don’t back down

Full throttle, wide open

You get tired and you don’t show it

Dig a little deeper when you think you can’t dig no more

That’s the only way I know

Maybe there’s another path that

Will get you there a little bit faster,

But I’m sticking with the one inside of me.

That’s the only way I know

Don’t stop 'til everything’s gone

Straight ahead, never turn round

Don’t back up, don’t back down

Full throttle, wide open

You get tired and you don’t show it

Dig a little deeper when you think you can’t dig no more

That’s the only way I...

That’s the only way I know

Don’t stop 'til everything’s gone

Straight ahead, never turn round

Don’t back up, don’t back down

Full throttle, wide open

You get tired, you don’t show it

Dig a little deeper when you think you can’t dig no more

That’s the only way I know

That's the only way I know
