Overtime Songtext

Overtime Songtext
Hey there, darling, won′t you love me down?
I'm fifty one miles out in interstate town
I just decided I ain′t keeping quiet, and I'm free
I lost my family to a bad disease
I got a mean, mean gene in my family tree
That grows in grandfather, and his daughters, and me, you see?
And I wanna stay humble, I wanna stay hungry
I wanna hear my father say that he loves me
I never gave a shit about being arrogant anyway
So hold on tight
'Cause I′ll be working overtime
They told me that I couldn′t, and I shouldn't even try
Ever since I was child, been workin′ for a while, ovеrtime
They said I's a wanna-be cowboy from a cut throat town
With tattooеd skin and nobody around
"Your songs sound the same, you′ll never make a name for yourself"
But I been scrapin' by my whole damn life
And granddaddy worked a double ′til the day he died
Said, "Never let this worlds earthly pride get you down"
No matter who you know, no matter what you do
I'll become what I deserve when it's all through
And you′ll be there asking yourself why
So hold on tight
′Cause I'll be working overtime
They told me that I couldn′t, and I shouldn't even try
Ever since I was child, been workin′ for a while, overtime
I'm fifty one miles out in interstate town
I just decided I ain′t keeping quiet, and I'm free
I lost my family to a bad disease
I got a mean, mean gene in my family tree
That grows in grandfather, and his daughters, and me, you see?
And I wanna stay humble, I wanna stay hungry
I wanna hear my father say that he loves me
I never gave a shit about being arrogant anyway
So hold on tight
'Cause I′ll be working overtime
They told me that I couldn′t, and I shouldn't even try
Ever since I was child, been workin′ for a while, ovеrtime
They said I's a wanna-be cowboy from a cut throat town
With tattooеd skin and nobody around
"Your songs sound the same, you′ll never make a name for yourself"
But I been scrapin' by my whole damn life
And granddaddy worked a double ′til the day he died
Said, "Never let this worlds earthly pride get you down"
No matter who you know, no matter what you do
I'll become what I deserve when it's all through
And you′ll be there asking yourself why
So hold on tight
′Cause I'll be working overtime
They told me that I couldn′t, and I shouldn't even try
Ever since I was child, been workin′ for a while, overtime
