[Intro]
Ha ha

[Verse 1]
Papaw was a painter, daddy was the same
Fought roosters on the weekend to keep the farm from the state
Them bills got higher, diesel climbed through the roof
Them numbers on them work trucks got disconnected too

[Verse 2]
Just a poor boy on a farm, foreclosed on my roots
Dip stains in my Wranglers and holes in my boots
Clueless to the world, fearful of no man
Raised a animal of my own, my teeth blood stain red

[Chorus]
I'm alive
There's a, there's a animal inside
I'm from a, from another time
That's why you never see me smile
There's a animal inside

[Verse 3]
I'm a nobody, only bones and flesh
Just a feller with a last name the government made me have
But these feet have ran trails, these hands have touched the soil
So when I get to where I'm goin' my last name will be worth gold
[Chorus]
I'm alive
There's an animal inside
I'm from, from another time
That's why you never see me smile
There's a animal inside
