Intro:
A   D   C   D   x2

Verse 1:
       A
Well I grew up in one of them old farm towns
           D
Where they hit it hard till the sun goes down
C                                         D
Nobody really seemed to care that we were living in the middle of nowhere
        A
We just figured that's how it was
    D
And everybody else was just like us
C
Soaking in the rain, baking in the sun
D
Don't quit till the job gets done

Chorus:
A
That's the only way I know
D
Don't stop till everything's gone
C
Straight ahead never turn round
D
Don't back up, don't back down
A
Full throttle wide open
D
You get tired, you don't show it
C                                                  D
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more

That's the only way I know

A   D

Verse 2:
     A
That old red dirt the first thing you learn
    D
You don't get nothing that you don't earn
C
Humble pride that I grew up on
    D
You find out just how bad you want it
A
Sun in our eyes backs to the fences
D
Didn't know the odds were against us
C
Hit the wall smoking and spinning
D
Still wasn't thinking 'bout nothing but winning

Chorus:
A
That's the only way I know
D
Don't stop till everything's gone
C
Straight ahead never turn round
D
Don't back up, don't back down
A
Full throttle wide open
D
You get tired, you don't show it
C                                                  D
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more

That's the only way I know

Instrumental/Solo:
A   D   C   D

Bridge:
C                                   D
Maybe there's another path that will get you there a little bit faster,
C                                       E
But I'm sticking with the one inside of me.

Chorus:
A
That's the only way I know
D
Don't stop till everything's gone
C
Straight ahead never turn round
D
Don't back up, don't back down
A
Full throttle wide open
D
You get tired, you don't show it
C                                                  D
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more

That's the only way I 

A
That's the only way I know
D
Don't stop till everything's gone
C
Straight ahead never turn round
D
Don't back up, don't back down
A
Full throttle wide open
D
You get tired, you don't show it
C                                                  D
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
                        A
That's the only way I know
                        D
That's the only way I know
                        C
That's the only way I know
                        D
That's the only way I know
                        A
Oh get on it one time
