[00:16.63]Carhart jacket on 5: 30 AM
[00:21.16]Feeling like the ace of spades
[00:24.85]Fifteen years old, work till the sun comes
[00:28.64]Then I'm off to school again
[00:32.40]Working my back as a young man
[00:35.81]Taught me I'd rather work my mind
[00:39.73]So we'd cop a little smoke
[00:41.95]And crack a couple jokes
[00:44.05]Just trying to learn to survive
[00:49.06]I wanted to work to live
[00:52.67]No not just live to work
[00:57.04]I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my T-shirt
[01:05.03]Was a young man singin' an old man's song
[01:09.05]Payin' with my last dimes
[01:12.99]But working to live beats living to work
[01:16.73]Anytime
[01:36.58]I had a teacher
[01:38.55]She told my mother that she better find me a trade
[01:43.93]Because boys like me well we all grow up
[01:47.60]To be long term guests of the state
[01:52.35]Now I worked hard because I had to
[01:55.13]I never found much luck
[01:59.04]Till' I built my world
[02:01.01]Round' a Georgia girl
[02:03.05]Who told me that I was enough
[02:08.14]I wanted to work to live
[02:10.97]No not just live to work
[02:15.98]I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my t-shirt
[02:23.79]Was a young man singing an old man's song
[02:28.33]Paying with my last dimes
[02:32.21]But working to live beats living to work
[02:36.10]Anytime
[02:55.41]Sometimes at night I wake with a shiver
[02:59.10]Sweat soaking clean through my sheets
[03:02.89]Then I remember I am who I am
[03:06.78]Not who they said I would be
[03:10.58]And I wasn't born with nothin'
[03:14.14]Cept' a voice and common sense
[03:18.35]Maybe that's why I took off runnin'
[03:22.13]The first chance that I had
[03:27.32]I wanted to work to live
[03:29.37]No not just live to work
[03:34.90]I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my T-shirt
[03:42.89]Was a young man singing an old man's song
[03:47.24]Paying with my last dimes
[03:50.92]But working to live beats living to work
[03:54.66]Anytime
[03:58.29]Oh working to live beats living to work
[04:02.12]Anytime
