[Verse 1]
DI'm caught in the Emshadows, the GAmerican EmSouth
Somewhere Dbetween Emhypocrite and GhalleluEmjah
DSix generEmations of Gbarely gettin' Emby
Six Dgenerations of Emhey, what's it Gto yEma?
DWhen the only thingEm harder than the Gwork is the Emluck
The Doutcome's as Emhopeful as the Gevenin' Emnews
DAnd last NovEmember I Gsaw firstEmhand
What DdesperationEm makes Ggood people Emdo
[Chorus]
GLife ain't Emfair
DSaddle up, boy, and see it Gthrough
Tough times don't Emlast
Tough folks DdoEm G Em
[Verse 2]
DSee I come Emfrom a long line oGf Carolina fEmarmers
For Dyears, Emtobacco was Gthe anEmswer
DIt kept the Emlights on and Gput food onEM the table
D'Til the Emdoctors started Gcallin' itEm cancer
DSo we took to thEMe hills of the GBlue Ridge EmMountains
With aD harvest ofEm corn andG some copper lEmine
And Dwe found yEmou can get a Glittle slice of Emheaven
With Dsome sugar Emyeast water and a Gwhole lotta Emtime
[Chorus]
GLife ain't Emfair
DSaddle up, boy, and see it Gthrough
Tough times don't Emlast
Tough folks DdoEm G Em
[Bridge]
BmWhere I'm from a Aman's only worth the Gweight of his Aword and
BmRespect ain't Ahanded out, it's earned
BmI've been runnin' Awith my back to the Gwall for seventeen Ayears now
FmAnd if it's one Gthing that I've Alearned, it's ...
[Chorus]
GLife ain't Emfair
DSaddle up, boy, and see it Gthrough
Tough times don't Emlast
Tough folks DdoEm G Em
[Chorus]
GLife ain't Emfair
DSaddle up, Gsaddle up
Life ain't Emfair
DSaddle up, Gsaddle up
GLife ain't Emfair
DSaddle up, boy, and see it Gthrough
Tough times don't Emlast
Tough folks DdoEm G Em
