You’re a dirt farmer’s daughter
I’m an iron miner’s son
Where do we think we’re going?
We aren’t fooling anyone
We’re right back where we started
Didn’t really get too far
Thinking we could escape this
But it’s just who we are
We’re gonna reach down again
Lift this weight
And keep carrying on
We’re the first generation
With a useless education
That we bought and paid for
With this here situation
Now we’re laid over a barrel
And underneath the weight
It seems so overwhelming
The price still to be paid
We’re gonna reach down again
Lift this weight
And keep carrying on
We gave up on religion
Our grandparents still had God
Mom & Dad had the fear
But somehow we lost it all
Not that God would have helped us
In the long walk alone
We’ve just got to hold our selves up
Doesn’t matter where we go
We’re gonna reach down again
Lift this weight
And keep carrying on
We’re gonna reach down again
Lift this weight
And keep carrying on
Capo 5th fret
