E
Hey there darling won’t you love me down
    C#m
I’m 51 miles out in interstate town
A                                       B
I just decided I aint keeping quiet and I’m free
E
I lost my family to a bad disease
       C#m
I got mean mean gene in my family tree
       A
That grows in grandfather and his daughters and me
     B
ya see

       E
And I wanna stay humble, I wanna stay hungry
  C#m
I want to hear my father say that he loves me
   A                                         B
I never gave a shit about being arrogant anyway

Chorus:
    E       A                      C#m B
So hold on tight cuz I be working overtime
                     E
They told me that I couldn’t and I shouldn’t even
  A
try
                  C#m                       B
Ever since I was child been working for a while,
     E
overtime

They said I's a wanna-be cowboy from
a cut throat town
With tattooed skin and nobody around
"Your songs sound the same, you'll never
make a name for yourself"
But I been scrapin' by my whole damn life
And granddaddy worked a double 'til the day he died
Said, "Never let this worlds earthly pride
get you down"

No matter who you know, no matter what you do
I'll become what I deserve when it's all through
And you'll be there asking yourself why

Chorus:
So hold on tight
'Cause I'll be working overtime
They told me that I couldn't and
I shouldn't even try
Ever since I was child, been workin'
 for a while, overtime
