I got my mind on the dirt and the dirt on my mind
                       C             F       Am
I got the rays melting metal while I step outside
                       G          F          Am
I got the house by the river, but that's run dry
                  C               F         Am
It's later than I thought, had to check the time


Verse 2:

         C           F      Am
Pour one out for the hungry ones

She was screaming in the road where the light don't come

When I showed up he took off running, but that's just luck

Here in the dark, we see clear for once

And I ain't tough
           C               F         Am
I roll the dice and hope I don't get stuck
                    G              F        Am
but catch one sharp edge and don't ever get up
                    C           F       Am
No time for what's fair: what's true is enough

I got the heat on my mind and my mind on the heat
                 C          F     Am
I got a concrete box with a junk AC
                          G         F      Am
I got the nights it don't get below triple degrees
         C                  F          Am
Ice pack gripper, trying to catch some sleep


Verse 4:

          C          F       Am
Light one up for the ones in hell
                  C                F      Am
Light two for the ones who kept it to themselves
                              G          F             Am
They all say they'll take the years, and they'll never tell
                         C              F       Am
A lot of people learn to sing when they hit the cell

            C           F       Am
(Hey! Who’s tough) And I ain't tough
                      C             F        Am
I stopped rolling the dice, but I'm not paid up,
                  G            F            Am
but catch one bad case and sometimes that's enough
              C              F        Am
to go down so long you don't get back up

I got my mind on the dirt
                     C         F       Am
I got my mind on the dirt, and I ain't tough
                   C        F       Am
And the river runs dry, and I ain't tough
