Mud Digger - Long road (feat. big matt) lyrics

[Intro] Growin up I've seen a lot of things in life I've seen the good I've seen the bad I've seen the happy And I've seen the sad But through it all, I'm just blessed to be alive man [Chorus] Now I've been ridin down these roads Lookin for some peace of mind Steady thinkin bout my future What would take for me to shine I ain't lookin for no friends I ain't lookin for no pity Trust in no one but my family and My dogs that's riding with me Now these times are lookin hard And the road is lookin bumpy Ain't no faking, ain't no flodging I was raised by the country Carried weight up on my shoulders And it's been a heavy load I done came a long way, lookin back It's been a long road Said it's been a long road It's been a long road Said it's been a long road [Verse 1] I was born in the eighties, raised in the nineties Blue bird here brother that's where you find me I ain't worried about no haters I got my dawgs behind me Growin up I didn't have it all but I thank God that I had plenty Twenty-two, yeah that's a blessing Cause Big Matt wasn't supposed to see twenty Life in the sticks was all that I know Strait from the rip, that's where I called home Grew up with a mom and dad Who gave me a place I could call my own Tryin to get my soul in check Cause dog we livin in evil days Momma told me watch the boys Cause most the boys got evil ways That's why lately I've been solo Cause nowadays they be on them no-no's One day they show you love Then the next day they would gossip like h*mos It is what it is I guess You make mistakes You live and learn Things don't come on a silver platter Cause in this life good things are earned We were taught to work hard Ain't had no time for slack Show love to our brothers and sisters And give the shirts off our backs I tried to stay in church Lord knows I'm far from perfect I know God's got a purpose He didn't send me to be worthless [Chorus] Now I've been ridin down these roads Lookin for some peace of mind Steady thinkin bout my future What would take for me to shine I ain't lookin for no friends and I ain't lookin for no pity Trust in no one but my family and My dogs that's riding with me Now these times are lookin hard And the road is lookin bumpy Ain't no faking, ain't no flodgin' I was raised by the country Carried weight up on my shoulders and It's been a heavy load I don came a long way, lookin back It's been a long road said it's been a long road It's been a long road said it's been a long road [Verse 2] Now I've seen the good and I've seen the bad Seen the happy, seen the sad Used to always wonder if I'd ever meet the dreams I had Before the mics and the keyboards All we had was tape recorders Dropped out of school at eighteen We weren't good at takin orders It seemed we couldn't do nothin right We always had to battle luck No one understood our hearts, all we ever had was us Everybody was doin their work While me and my brother was makin beats Then I finally left that school Because I couldn't take the heat Now that I'm in music Seems like nobody want to see me shine But it ain't no thing to me I'm tellin all haters, catch up with your own kind Cause my kind, they love to fish My kind, they love to hunt Meanwhile, them boys ain't keepin it real They just love to front I learned that friends come and go But family last a lifetime My soul is full of hurt That's why I pick up the pen and write rhymes We dropped a couple of tracks Next thing you know, they was all demanding People tried to bring me down But they failed dog and I'm still standing [Chorus] Now I've been ridin down these roads Lookin for some peace of mind Steady thinkin bout my future What would take for me to shine I ain't lookin for no friends and I ain't lookin for no pity Trust in no one but my family and My dogs that's riding with me Now these times are lookin hard And the road is lookin bumpy Ain't no faking, ain't no flodging I was raised by the country Carried weight up on my shoulders and It's been a heavy load I don came a long way, lookin back It's been a long road said it's been a long road It's been a long road said it's been a long road
