Overtime

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, you 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 workin' for a while, ovеrtime They said I's a wanna-be cowboy from a cut throat town With tattooеd skin and nobody around "Your songs sound the same, you'll never make a name for yourself" But I been scrapin' 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 workin' for a while, overtime
