Letras
I was born on a backroad, mile marker sign
Daddy's radio preachin' Hank and hard times
Got a Slim Jim smile and a cracked windshield
Learned early what a man won't say but feels
Grease on my knuckles, blood on my jeans
From a Friday night fight with a barroom dream
Wonder bread supper, gas station prime
Tryin' to outrun fate on borrowed time
This ain't glory, son, it's a grind
Just keep it straight between the lines
I'm sponsored by the South, got a number on my back
Like a Sunday driver tearin' up a dirt track
Jack on the label, M&M's on the dash
Dollar General faith and a full tank of gas
Got logos on my guitar, dust in my mouth
If this life's a race-yeah, I'm sponsored by the South
Pennzoil heart keepin' this engine alive
Moonshine breath on a Saturday night
Mello Yello buzz just to stay awake
While the miles stack up like the choices I make
Buckle bunnies laughin' by the front of the stage
Red lipstick prayers for a runaway age
Mud, ruts, bonfires, county fair lights
Every song's a gamble, every show's a fight
They say slow it down, play it safe
But safe don't ever get you saved
I'm sponsored by the South, got a number on my back
White-knuckle hope on a dead-end track
Jack burns clean when the truth comes out
I sing it loud, yeah, I sing it proud
Got logos on my guitar, dust in my mouth
If this life's a race-yeah, I'm sponsored by the South
They call it sellin' out when the rent gets paid
But there ain't no free ride for the born-and-raised
I ain't owned by a logo or a dotted line
Just keepin' these wheels on a crooked grind
If the checkered flag's just a cold white stone
Then I'll die with a song and a long way home
I'm sponsored by the South, hear the engines shout
From a dive bar stage to a sold-out crowd
Pennzoil soul and a red dirt vow
If I go down, I go down loud
Got logos on my guitar, truth in my mouth
Wave the green flag now-yeah, I'm sponsored by the South
When the lights burn out and the crowd thins out
I'll still be runnin' this broken route
With a beat-up heart and a stubborn mouth
Still racin' life... sponsored by the South
