Tekst Utworu

[Verse 1]
Carhartt jacket on, five-thirty A.M.
Feeling like the ace of spades
15 years old, work till the sun comes
Then I'm off to school again
[Verse 2]
Working my back as a young man
Taught me I'd rather work my mind
So we'd cop a little smoke, and crack a couple jokes
Just trying to learn to survive
[Verse 3]
I wanted to work to live, no, not just live to work
I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my t-shirt
Was a young man singing an old man song
Paying with my last dimes
But working to live beats living to work anytime
[Verse 4]
I had a teacher, she told my mother
That she'd better find me a trade
Because boys like me, well, we all grow up
To be long term guests of the state
[Verse 5]
Now I worked hard because I had to
I never found much luck
Till' I built my world round' a Georgia girl
Who told me that I was enough
[Verse 6]
I wanted to work to live, no, not just live to work
I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my t-shirt
Was a young man singing an old man song
Paying with my last dimes
But working to live beats living to work anytime
[Verse 7]
Sometimes at night I wake with a shiver
Sweat soaking clean through my sheets
But then I remember I am who I am
Not who they said I would be
[Verse 8]
I wasn't born with nothing
'Cept a voice and common sense
Maybe that why I took off running
The first chance that I had
[Verse 9]
I wanted to work to live, no, not just live to work
I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my t-shirt
Was a young man singing an old man song
Paying with my last dimes
But working to live beats living to work anytime
Oh, working to live beats living to work anytime
