Lyrics

Broken bones and highway homes
Searching for something more than this
Sleepless nights and tired eyes
Dragging my feet while I get dressed
Now I don't mean to be complaining
This work's always gotten me through
I ain't giving up, just trying to find what
I'm supposed to hold onto
My knuckles are busted somethin' bad
And I ain't got the same back that I used to have
My head seems to have a constant ache
How much have I got left before I break
But I know I'll go as hard as I can
That's the only way I know to be a man
Hard drives and harder nights
Thinking of making my way back to you
Little towns and turnarounds
This map seems to have something to prove
Now I don't mean to be complaining
This work's always gotten me through
I ain't giving up, just trying to find what
I'm supposed to hold onto
My knuckles are busted somethin' bad
And I ain't got the same back that I used to have
My head seems to have a constant ache
I don't know how much I'm supposed to take
But I know I'll work as long as I can
That's the only way I know to be a man
Yeah I know I'll work as long as I can
That's the only way I know to be a man
