Verse 1:
       AWell (x02220@1)I grew up in one of them old farm towns
           DWhere (xx0232@1)they hit it hard till the sun goes down
C (x32010@1)                                       DNobody (xx0232@1)really seemed to care that we were living in the middle of nowhere
        AWe (x02220@1)just figured that's how it was
    DAnd (xx0232@1)everybody else was just like us
CSoaking (x32010@1)in the rain, baking in the sun
DDon't (xx0232@1)quit till the job gets done

Chorus:
AThat's (x02220@1)the only way I know
DDon't (xx0232@1)stop till everything's gone
CStraight (x32010@1)ahead never turn round
DDon't (xx0232@1)back up, don't back down
AFull (x02220@1)throttle wide open
DYou (xx0232@1)get tired, you don't show it
C (x32010@1)                                                DDig (xx0232@1)a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more

That's the only way I know

A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)Verse 2:
     AThat (x02220@1)old red dirt the first thing you learn
    DYou (xx0232@1)don't get nothing that you don't earn
CHumble (x32010@1)pride that I grew up on
    DYou (xx0232@1)find out just how bad you want it
ASun (x02220@1)in our eyes backs to the fences
DDidn't (xx0232@1)know the odds were against us
CHit (x32010@1)the wall smoking and spinning
DStill (xx0232@1)wasn't thinking 'bout nothing but winning

Chorus:
AThat's (x02220@1)the only way I know
DDon't (xx0232@1)stop till everything's gone
CStraight (x32010@1)ahead never turn round
DDon't (xx0232@1)back up, don't back down
AFull (x02220@1)throttle wide open
DYou (xx0232@1)get tired, you don't show it
C (x32010@1)                                                DDig (xx0232@1)a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more

That's the only way I know

C (x32010@1)                                     EBut (022100@1)I'm sticking with the one inside of me.
