lirik lagu d. c. hill - breakin' our backs
verse 1
sun’s up, coffee’s cold, boots on the floor
another sunrise fightin’ the day before
bills in the mailbox, stackin’ knee~high
feels like we work just to get by
folks out here hustlin’, losing their sleep
tryin’ to hold on to a dollar they can’t keep
pre~chorus
and every time we breathe, someone’s reachin’ in our pocket
feels like life’s a runaway train and we’re just tryin’ to stop it
chorus
yeah, life’s been heavy, ridin’ on our backs
good folks desperate, fallin’ through the cracks
and the ones who should help us keep takin’ what we lack—
feels likе the whole d~mn world’s only after our tax
countin’ еvery penny while we’re breakin’ our backs
just another hard day in the land of paychecks
verse 2
main street’s empty, dreams boarded up
hard times pourin’ from an overfilled cup
mama’s prayin’ at the table for a break
daddy’s workin’ doubles just to stay awake
kids learn young that you pay for every inch
nothin’ comes easy and the rules always pinch
pre~chorus
and they say it’s “for our future,” but we learned that line well
feels like we’re buyin’ hope at a price no one can tell
chorus
yeah, life’s been heavy, ridin’ on our backs
good folks desperate, fallin’ through the cracks
and the ones who should help us keep takin’ what we lack—
feels like the whole d~mn world’s only after our tax
countin’ every penny while we’re breakin’ our backs
just another hard day in the land of paychecks
bridge
we keep on drivin’ these dusty roads
carryin’ the weight of heavy loads
prayin’ someday the pressure relax
and we ain’t just hunted for our tax
verse 3
but we’re country strong, and we don’t fold
we rise up steady with a heart of gold
if life’s gonna fight, well we fight right back
standin’ tall together on this same ol’ track
hope’s still alive, yeah it ain’t lost yet
even in a world full of worry and debt
chorus
yeah, life’s been heavy, ridin’ on our backs
good folks desperate, fallin’ through the cracks
and the ones who should help us keep takin’ what we lack—
feels like the whole d~mn world’s only after our tax
countin’ every penny while we’re breakin’ our backs
just another hard day in the land of paychecks
outro
here’s to the fighters who never collapse—
even when the system’s only after our tax
