I'm Dcaught in the Ashadows, the AGmerican ASouth
Somewhere bDetween hypoAcrite and halleGlujAah
DSix geneArations of Gbarely gettin' Aby
Six geneDrations of "AHey, what's it Gto ya?" A
When the Donly thing Aharder than the Gwork is the Aluck
The oDutcome's as Ahopeful as the Gevenin' Anews
And Dlast NoAvember I Gsaw firsAthand
What DdesperAation makes Ggood people Ado

Saddle Dup, boy, and see it Gthrough
GTough times don't Alast
Tough folks Ddo

See I Dcome from a Along line of GCarolina Afarmers
For Dyears, Atobacco was theG anAswer
It Dkept the lights Aon and put Gfood on the Atable
'Til the Ddoctors started Acallin' it GcanAcer
So we Dtook to the Ahills of the GBlue Ridge AMountains
With a Dharvest of Acorn and some Gcopper Aline
And Dwe found Ayou can get a Glittle slice of Aheaven
With some Dsugar yeast Awater and a Gwhole lotta Atime
[Chorus]
GLife ain't Afair
Saddle Dup, boy, and see it Gthrough
GTough times don't Alast
Tough folks Ddo
