Lyrics
[Intro]
Workin' dawn till setting sun, clenched fists and calloused thumb
Just to keep the wheels in spin, pray I got enough to get in
[Verse 1]
Got a belly full of fried catfish, beans, and cornbread on the plate
Chasing dreams in a tired town, wonder if it's worth the wait
Steel toe boots on this dusty ground, city lights seem so far away
Makin' a living the hard way, just to see another day
[Pre-Chorus]
Paycheck's come and go like smoke, straight to the company store
Livin' hand to mouth, just to keep from bein' broke
It's a never-ending fight, just to keep my family fed
Dreams of better days ahead, got me wishin' I was free instead
[Chorus]
I'm workin' like a dog, just to scrape by
Feelin' like my paycheck's a lie
Payin' dues to a system that don't care
Fried catfish, beans, and cornbread, my prayer
Out here on the margin, stayin' alive
Strivin' just to survive
Outlaw heart, never gonna bow
Livin' hard, workin' loud, workin' like a dog now
[Bridge]
Sunrise to sunset, carryin' this load
Dreams of southern stars, a different road
But this soil runs deep in my veins
I'll keep on fightin', bear these pains
[Outro]
One day I’ll break free from these chains, find my own way
Till then I keep on workin', day by day, no shame
Fried catfish on my plate, livin’ rough, livin’ proud
Workin’ like a dog beneath the southern clouds
