Well I grew up in one of them old farm towns
Where they hit it hard 'til the sun goes down
Nobody really seemed to care

That we were living in the middle of nowhere
We just figured that's how it was
And everybody else was just like us

Soaking in the rain baking in the sun
Don't quit 'til the job gets down


That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone
Straight ahead never turn 'round

Don't back up don't back down
Full throttle wide open
You get tired and you don't show it

Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I know


In that ol' red dirt the first thing you learn
Is you don't get nothing that you don't earn
Humble pride I grew up on

You find out just how bad you want it
The sun in our eyes and backs to the fences
We didn't know the odds were against us

Hit the wall smokin' and spinnin'
Still wasn't thinking 'bout winning


That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone
Straight ahead never turn 'round

Don't back up don't back down
Full throttle wide open
You get tired and you don't show it

Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I know


Maybe there's another path that'll
Get you there a little bit faster
But I'm sticking with the one inside of me


That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone

Straight ahead never turn 'round
Don't back up don't back down
Full throttle wide open

You get tired and you don't show it
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I know


That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone

Straight ahead never turn 'round
Don't back up don't back down
Full throttle wide open

You get tired and you don't show it
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I know


That's the only way I know
That's the only way I know

The only way I know
