Do You Know What That Is

Work like a dog all day in the hay

Do you know what that is

Five days work for one days pay

Do you know what that is

Crops burned up so you pray for rain

And watch all your work go down the drain

It's enough to drive a man insane

Do you know what that is



Thats country man thats the way it goes

A lot of folks never get down that low

But you won't reap if you don't sow

Thats country man you don't always win

But you don't give up and you don't give in

You keep on bouncing back again



Move to the city where you don't belong

Do you know what that is

Bet your whole life on a prayer and a song

Do you know what that is

Big wig sitting in a black leather chair

First sight of rain hes outta there

Do you know what that is



Thats country man its a poor boys dream

Take your first rife in a limousine

Look at yourself on the silver screen

Thats country man its a ruthless game

Its here one day and gone the same

Everybodys looking for the next big thing



Hey thats ok I'll be alright

At least i can lay down and sleep at night

I don't need the hastle anyway



Thats country man thats the way it goes

A lot fo folks never get down that low

But you won't reap if you don't sow

Thats country man you don't always win

But you don't give up and you don't give in

You keep on bouncing back again



Thats country



You ever feel like you could just explode

Do you know what that is

Then you lay it down and take the higher road
