[Verse 1]
The sun rolled off the hills and onto my back
I swore that I could hear the dogs calling from up the track
Another day, another dawn that I could hardly hack
My bones ache, but it's too late for me to turn it back

[Chorus]
I'm too damn stubborn for my own good
I'll keep intact
Know nothing better or I would escape this fact

[Verse 2]
I left this land, this once drove me to my knees
I pray for sinners, oh God, believe I aim to please
I'll break my back and just keep workin' for my seed
Need no mercy of man, keep pullin' out the weeds

[Chorus]
I'm too damn stubborn for my own good
I'll keep intact
Know nothing better or I would escape this fact

[Outro]
I know it seems so strange
I'll never turn this page
I'm best just left to fade
