Hit A Lick

[Verse 1]
I've been pushed further than I thought I'd be pushed
I've been working even harder than I thought I could
Phone stopped ringing, calls got screened
But I'm 'bout to hit a lick like you ain't ever seen
'Bout to show the world just who I am
I'm a songwriting son of a gun of a man
Don't want me at their shows, want me at their scene
But I'm 'bout to hit a lick like you ain't ever seen

[Chorus]
Yeah, this ole hick's gonna hit a lick
'Bout to hit a dollar on top of its head
This ole boy got a lot of grit
No, you can't knock me dead
Stack 'em up, put 'em brick to brick
How I's born and how I's bred
I bet you thought I'd quit
But I'm gonna hit a lick instead
Oh, hit a lick

[Verse 2]
No, it ain't gon' come from just sittin' around
I'm puttin' pen to paper, baby, never put it down
Never stopped dreaming, they tried to make me leave
But I'm 'bout to hit a lick like you ain't ever seen

[Chorus]
Yeah, this ole hick's gonna hit a lick
'Bout to hit a dollar on top of its head
This ole boy got a lot of grit
No, you can't knock me dead
Stack 'em up, put 'em brick to brick
How I's born and how I's bred
I bet you thought I'd quit
But I'm gonna hit a lick instead
Oh, hit a lick

[Bridge]
Here's a little reminder
I ain't no first timer
I strapped up my blinders
'Bout to hit a lick, oh, hit a lick

[Chorus]
Yeah, this ole hick's gonna hit a lick
'Bout to hit a dollar on top of its head
This ole boy got a lot of grit
No, you can't knock me dead
Stack 'em up, put 'em brick to brick
How I's born and how I's bred
I bet you thought I'd quit
But I'm gonna hit a lick instead
Oh, hit a lick
Hit a lick
Hit a lick instead, oh, hit a lick
