Grew up in a one-light town
Tumbleweeds, no one's around
Didn't make the team, got laughed at
It don't get worse than that
And I just picked up the guitar
So, now, I'm playin' in bars
The old flames walk in
And I act like I don't care
Oh, oh, you can try
But it ain't worth it
Can't break this spirit
No, it won't hurt it
You can try to get me down
But it ain't workin'
'Cause you can't break this spirit
No, it won't hurt it
Had a buddy die in the sand
He was fightin' for our land
Sometimes I still wonder why
He was the good guy
Then I had my heart torn out
By a girl who was so beautiful
Sometimes she still calls
But now, I don't care
Oh, oh, you can try
But it ain't worth it
Can't break this spirit
No, it won't hurt it
You can try to get me down
But it ain't workin'
'Cause you can't break this spirit
No, it won't hurt it
