she steps out of her trailer with her kids
they all get in the car
we're headed for the city boys
if this thing can get us that far

i'm tired of this struggle
God do you ever hear my prayers
well i won't take nothing now
less than my fair share

he's worked his job for sixteen years
for thirteen-hour days
there's not much that a field hand can do
for a family on this kind of wage

he looks to the heavens
asks God are you there
well i won't take nothing now
less than my fair share

daddy always said, "you're such a pretty thing"
"never worry, you'll get ahead"
well you can tell all those good old daddy-boys
they can kiss my ass and all drop dead

God do you see me
and do you even care
well i won't take nothing now
less than my share

God do you see me
and do you even care
well i won't take nothing now
less than my share
