Lyrics:
I wake up before the sun even shows,
Clock’s tickin’ loud, but I keep my eyes closed.
These hands are calloused, my back’s broke in two,
Ain't got much to show, but I push on through.

I’m tired, but I'm holdin' on,
Watchin' the world roll, watchin' it wrong.
Them rich folks smile while I just survive,
Ain't givin’ up ‘cause I’m born to strive.

Bills pile high, can’t catch no break,
Every damn penny is theirs to take.
Fuel keeps risin', food ain’t cheap,
But I’ll keep my promise and I’ll dig deep.

I’m tired, but I'm holdin' on,
Watchin' the world roll, watchin' it wrong.
Them rich folks smile while I just survive,
Ain't givin’ up ‘cause I’m born to strive.

Sleepin' on minutes, dreamin' of peace,
Coffeepot’s brewin' my only release.
Sun’s comin' up, work’s callin' me in,
This same damn routine again and again.

I see the shiny cars, their lives all fine,
They toast to gold while I run on grime.
Every dollar they earn doubles up and grows,
While I’m left with dust from head to toes.

I’m tired, but I'm holdin' on,
Watchin' the world roll, watchin' it wrong.
Them rich folks smile while I just survive,
Ain't givin’ up ‘cause I’m born to strive.

There’s a fire inside that won’t burn out,
Keeps me goin' through the darkest doubt.
Might be bruised, but I ain’t beat,
Standin’ tall on these weary feet.

Yeah, I’m out of luck and I’m out of time,
But this heart still pounds like a southern line.
No fortune found, no money made,
Still I keep swingin' this rusty spade.

One day the tide might finally turn,
But till then I’ll push through the burn.
The harder it gets, the harder I’ll fight,
‘Cause I got the faith to see through the night.

I’m tired, but I'm holdin' on,
Watchin' the world roll, watchin' it wrong.
Them rich folks smile while I just survive,
Ain't givin’ up ‘cause I’m born to strive.

Hands are shakin', steps grow slow,
But I’m still standin', even when I’m low.
This dream keeps pullin' me through the fight,
Even if I’m walkin' alone in the dead of night.

I'll keep workin', I'll keep tryin',
Ain't goin' down, even if I’m dyin'.
