We Sweat

Out here the sun beats your back like a bullwhip

Burning like the roadside chain-gang in Mississip'

Sipping whiskey or pouring concrete

Soaking wet, soaking up some sticky heat

Working, playing, making love day and night

Boy, if you ain't sweating, naw

You ain't doing something right

Oh, you ain't doing something right

Sunrise, sunset, son, we like it hot

Moonshine make you wanna take it all off

Digging for a man or dancing with his daughter

Can't tell if we just clocked out or just popped out of the water

Working, playing, making love day and night

Boy, if you ain't sweating, naw

You ain't doing something right

Oh, you ain't doing something right

Out here in the dirty

Lord have mercy, we sweat

Oh, we sweat

I said out here in the dirty

Devil be thirsty, we sweat

Oh, we sweat

Us boys ain't taking breathers

Our girls'll give you fever

We sweat

Oh, we sweat

In a ditch, on a roof

Downtown, in the woods

Back forty, by sea

Tailgater up on the hood

Swinging sledgehammers

Or singing in our choir

We ain't gon' be nothing but

Up on fire

Working, playing, making love day and night

Boy, if you ain't sweating, naw

You ain't doing something right

Oh, you ain't doing something right

Out here in the dirty

Lord have mercy, we sweat

Oh, we sweat

I said out here in the dirty

Devil be thirsty, we sweat

Oh, we sweat

Our boys ain't taking breathers

Our girls'll give you fever

We sweat

We sweat

Out here in the dirty

Lord have mercy, we sweat

We sweat

Out here in the dirty

Lord have mercy, we sweat

We sweat
