Husky, that's what the kids all called me
When I was in school
I grew up ten minutes north of town
On a farm out there on that rural route
Mama fried up the potatoes
Diced the onions sliced tomatoes
From the garden that my old man grew
Yeah times were tough when I was young
So we did what we could to make due
I picked rocks and bucked hay
Ate potatoes everyday
Gettin' stronger puttin' hair on my chest
I didn't ask to be paid
I worked hard and it gave me a tougher side
You don't wanna test
Yeah I was southern born and south Missouri bred
And Tater Fed
In my twenties I was tryin' to make money
And I thought with my music I might
I was in a bar playin' hard
Just the start of what was gonna be a crazy night
Two old boys were in a scuff
When I tried to break it up
They both turned on me and wanted to fight
So I sat down my beer and said looky here boys
You're gonna get hurt tonight
I picked rocks and bucked hay
Ate potatoes everyday
Gettin' stronger puttin' hair on my chest
I didn't ask to be paid
I worked hard and it gave me a tougher side
You don't wanna test
Yeah I was southern born and south Missouri bred
And Tater Fed
