I don't take pride in being lonely

But I take pride in who I am

I was born in a southern home

You just wash off the dust on your hands

Can't you tell my eyes are heavy

Can't you hear it, my voice is sore

All I do is try and try harder

Everything just turns out wrong

You just wash off the dust and go home

Everything just turns out wrong

I don't take pride in throwing punches

I take pride in what I do

I was born in a southern home

I was taught 'bout the right thing to do

Can't you tell my eyes are heavy

Can't you hear it, my voice is sore

All I do is try and try harder

Everything just turns out wrong

You just wash off the dust and go home

Everything just turns out wrong
