[Verse 1]
In Louisiana for work
for some months
I'm from Georgia, baby
that road feel long
Six kids on my mind
every single night
Granny on the line
keeps me holding tight
Uncle G said, "Stand up"
when it get heavy
I been missing home
but I still stay ready
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t fold, I don’t break
I just count these days
Every mile I take
got a price to pay
[Chorus]
Louisiana for work
I miss my home
Louisiana for work
but I stay strong
Six kids, Granny, Uncle G
pull me on
I fight through it
so my babies live long
[Verse 2]
I see my son’s grin
when I close my eyes
See my daughter’s hair
and them little proud eyes
I hear my mama say
keep your head high
I hear Georgia rain
in the back of my mind
Ain't no easy road
when your heart stay split
But I’m built for the load
and I’m built for this
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t fold, I don’t break
I just count these days
Every mile I take
got a price to pay
[Chorus]
Louisiana for work
I miss my home
Louisiana for work
but I stay strong
Six kids, Granny, Uncle G
pull me on
I fight through it
so my babies live long
[Bridge]
If I sound tired, baby
that’s the truth in me
But I still send that money
so they can breathe easy
Tell my Granny I’m coming
when this stretch is through
Tell Uncle G I got it
I’m doing what I do
[Final Chorus]
Louisiana for work
I miss my home
Louisiana for work
but I stay strong
Six kids, Granny, Uncle G
pull me on
I fight through it
so my babies live long
