(mhhmmm,
yeah)
Cracks in the concrete,
dry heat rising from the road
Every single dollar is a heavy,
heavy load
Got mud on my boots and a shadow on my back But
I ain't looking behind me on this one-way track
Oh, the wind keeps howling,
telling me to stay (telling me to stay)
But the gravel's calling me away
We got that hard-earned swagger in our stride
Heavy hearts with nothing left to hide
Keep the wheels turning through the dust and the rain
There's a sweet, sweet victory in the pain (sing it now)
Streetlights flickering, paint is peeling slow
This neighborhood has secrets that the city doesn't know But we find
our rhythm in the cracks of the stone Yeah,
we're building a temple out of simple skin and bone
No silver spoons, no easy rides
Just the rising and the falling tides (oh,
we hold on)
We got that hard-earned swagger in our stride
Heavy hearts with nothing left to hide
Keep the wheels turning through the dust and the rain
There's a sweet, sweet victory in the pain
Just the dust and the rain...
Yeah, the hard-earned road...
