Down here in the dirty we just do what we can
It's hard to get by when you live off the land
And we ain't have examples that could give us a plan
We just learning by the seat of our pants
Like younging where you come from places you would run from
That's the shit that made me a man
No I don't believe in part time I been through some hard times
That ' s the shit you don't understand
All hell, y'all can tell
That'd I've tried and I've failed
This ship ain't never sailed
I endure the weather well
Secrets you'll never tell
To protect the fairy tale
Lost a lot of goodings to the things that don't treat em' well
I been up and down this roller coaster
Swear I felt the coldest shoulder
No one to lean on so dream on is my theme song
When I roll alone in my zone
Selling zones out my mobile home
Gone since a youngin I been running with some cousins
Who ain't afraid of nothing brother
To cold you need a cover
Got outlaw from my daddy and some Jesus from my mother
My presence never suffered
I just learned to take it further
Instead of leaning to the bottle and dependent on some upper
Down here in the dirty we just do what we can
It's hard to get by when you live off the land
And we ain't have examples that could give us a plan
We just learning by the seat of our pants
Like younging where you come from places you would run from
That's the shit that made me a man
No I don't believe in part time I been through some hard times
That ' s the shit you don't understand
Yea h we way down yonder by them thickets and them slews
Daddy loved to drank the whiskey and he loved to sing the blues
Wasn't much to f ill the shoes we didn't even have groceries
French fries and them filets i was full just like I'm posed to be
Living off them deer woods started slanging h undre d packs
End up with a celly snitch recorded on my telly
Peanut butter, mayhaw jelly, watermelons, and such
Pop and granny worked there fannies youngin had him a lunch
We been doing what we can
Hold it down for the fam
Cultivation of the land sow a seed till its a plant
Give it water let grow shake the haters and the dope
Reach down deep and let em' know
If it gets hard don't let it show baby
Down here in the dirty we just do what we can
It's hard to get by when you live off the land
And we ain't have examples that could give us a plan
We just learning by the seat of our pants
Like younging where you come from places you would run from
That's the shit that made me a man
No I don't believe in part time I been through some hard times
That ' s the shit you don't understand
