[Verse 1]
It's a grind sometimes chasin' these country boy dreams
Buddy, this high life ain't always as high as it seems
You're takin' on the road life, bettin' on the bright lights
And hopin' for a big payday
It's a good way to make a livin', but a hard way to make it rain

[Chorus]
It's so damn hot, got that blacktop smokin'
It's breakin' the bank keepin' these wheels rollin'
We got a three-day run, just a race in the sun
Tryna make it to the next big stage
It's a good way to make a livin', but a hard way to make it rain

[Verse 2]
Well, my cup gets full every time the spotlight's on
It gets to overflowin' when the crowd gets to singin' along
But I ain't slept yet, my eyes are all red
Can't remember what I ate today
It's a good way to make a livin', but a hard way to make it rain

[Chorus]
It's so damn hot, got that blacktop smokin'
It's breakin' the bank keepin' these wheels rollin'
We got a three-day run, just a race in the sun
Tryna make it to the next big stage
It's a good way to make a livin', but a hard way to make it rain
Aw, make it rain
[Bridge]
You got nothin' to lose
Everything to prove
So keep payin' your dues

[Chorus]
It's so damn hot, got that blacktop smokin'
It's breakin' the bank keepin' these wheels rollin'
We got a three-day run, just a race in the sun
Tryna make it to the next big stage
It's a good way to make a livin', but a hard way to make it rain
It's a good way to make a livin', but a hard way to make it rain
