Well I grew up in one of them old farm towns 
Where they hit it hard till 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 everyone else was just like us 
Soaking in the rain baking in the sun 
Don't quit till the job gets done 

That's the only way I know 
Don't stop till everything's gone 
Straight ahead never turn round 
Don't back up, don't back down 
Full throttle wide open 
You get tired, 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 old red dirt the first thing you learn 
You don't get nothing that you don't earn 
Humble pride that I grew up on 
You find out just how bad you want it 
Sun in our eyes backs to the fences 
Hit the wall smoking and spinning 
Still wasn't thinking ‘bout nothing but winning 

That's the only way I know 
Don't stop till everything's gone 
Straight ahead never turn round 
Don't back up, don't back down 
Full throttle wide open 
You get tired, 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 will 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 till everything's gone 
Straight ahead never turn round 
Don't back up, don't back down 
Full throttle wide open 
You get tired, 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
