Help me load the truck, I already packed my bags

See, I got bills to pay, but he needs more laaaand

[Verse]
C Am Em Em
My blood’s engraved in this here boat
C Am Em Em C
If you fall overboard, you better pray to God you float
Am Em Em C
Air I breathe’s full of dust and smoke
Am Em Em C Am
My body’s worn out, but I’ll rest it when I’m ooooooooold

[Verse]
C Am Em Em C
There were many to fail before
Am Em Em C
But I’ve looked Death in the eyes and told him I ain’t goin’
Am Em Em C
What’s the problem with dirt on my hands?
Am Em
This is what I do, this is who I am

[Chorus]

There’s a fire burnin’ in my soul
C Am
And in this dark pit I’m in
