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
