 x2
 Well I grew  up in one of them old farm towns
 Where they hit  it hard till the sun goes down
Nobody  really seemed to care that we were living  in the middle of nowhere
 We just figured  that's how it was
 And everybody  else was just like us
Soaking  in the rain, baking in the sun
Don't  quit till the job gets done
That's  the only way I know
Don't  stop till everything's gone
Straight  ahead never turn round
Don't  back up, don't back down
Full  throttle wide open
You  get tired, you don't show it
Dig  a little deeper when you think you can't dig no  more
 That's the only way I know
 That old  red dirt the first thing you learn
 You don't  get nothing that you don't earn
Humble  pride that I grew up on
 You find  out just how bad you want it
Sun  in our eyes backs to the fences
Didn't  know the odds were against us
Hit  the wall smoking and spinning
Still  wasn't thinking 'bout nothing but winning
That's  the only way I know
Don't  stop till everything's gone
Straight  ahead never turn round
Don't  back up, don't back down
Full  throttle wide open
You  get tired, you don't show it
Dig  a little deeper when you think you can't dig no  more
 That's the only way I know
 Instrumental/Solo:
Maybe  there's another path that will  get you there a little bit faster,
But  I'm sticking with the one inside of me.
That's  the only way I know
Don't  stop till everything's gone
Straight  ahead never turn round
Don't  back up, don't back down
Full  throttle wide open
You  get tired, you don't show it
Dig  a little deeper when you think you can't dig no  more
 That's the only way I
That's  the only way I know
Don't  stop till everything's gone
Straight  ahead never turn round
Don't  back up, don't back down
Full  throttle wide open
You  get tired, you don't show it
Dig  a little deeper when you think you can't dig no  more
 That's the only way I know
 That's the only way I know
 That's the only way I know
 That's the only way I know
 Oh get on it one time
