Tab Benoit - In It to Win It lyrics

I was born in southeast delta [Incomprehensible] Me friends with the snakes and 'gators I knew them all by name My daddy was a driller He did his job with pride My mama was raising horses And taught me how to ride But that stuff didn't fit me I had to be myself 'Cause you can't be somebody Try to be somebody else You gotta get in it to win it Life is a game we play Gotta get in it to win it Before you waste away Living out of suitcase Traveling far and wide Sure don't seem like a good life Looking from the other side Everybody's been digging For what I learned out there I'm bringing on home, mama Sure, I still care All of my game is my story And I know how to play And now I am somebody And you can't take that away You gotta get in it to win it Let your light shine through Gotta get in it to win it Now the worlds been waiting on you
