Redneck Rich

I woke, I woke, the sky was gray
Didn’t care to start the day
Coffee’s cold, the world’s the same
Still, I whisper my own name

I’m tired, I’m tired, but I won’t fade
There’s a spark I haven’t made
Don’t know what’s coming, don’t know when
But I’ll stay in the game again

Lost some friends, lost my drive
Just been learning how to survive
Dreams gone thin, but breath remains
Heartbeat hums its small refrain

I’m tired, I’m tired, but I won’t fade
There’s a spark I haven’t made
Don’t know what’s coming, don’t know when
But I’ll stay in the game again

Sometimes hope hides out of view
Sometimes it waits inside of you
If I can’t see it, that’s okay
I’ll live to see another day

Cold wind blows, the lights all dim
Future’s blurred around the rim
Still my hands reach out the same
Still my voice repeats my name

I’m tired, I’m tired, but I won’t fade
There’s a spark we haven’t made
Don’t know what’s coming, don’t know when
But we’ll stay in the game again

There’s light in the dark ⚡

Stay in the game
