Lyrics

Knock on the door and the door knocks back
The joke never go no further than that
Fire goes back inside the match
Back down the stack
And we hustle and cuss
Lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss and lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss and lick on the dust
Must you muscle and fuss?
Muscle and fuss and lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss and lick on the dust
When we were young
A different kind of fun
Playing in the mud
It meant something else
Hustle and cuss
Yeah, hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss and lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss and lick on the dust
Must we muscle and fuss?
You muscle and fuss and lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss and lick on the dust
You're easy to fool and easy to catch
And I don't know if I want you to
Match my bets
Hustle and cuss
Lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Or you lick on the dust
And you hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss, lick on the dust
Hustle and cuss
Hustle and cuss and lick on the dust
Must you muscle and fuss?
Hustle and cuss
Muscle and fuss
Muscle and fuss
Lick on the dust
