I've been sworn and slandered and ridiculed too
Had to struggle everyday my whole life through
Seen my share of the worse that this world can give
But I still got a dream and a burning rage to live
Walk hard
Hard
When they say
You're all done
Walk bold
Hard
Though they say
You're not the one
Even if you've been told time and time again
That you're always gonna lose and you're never gonna win
Gotta keep that vision in your mind's eye
When you're standing on top of a mountain high
You know when I was a boy
Folks used to say to me
"Slow down Dewey, don't walk so hard"
And I used to tell them
Life's a race, and I'm in it to win it
And I'll walk as damn hard as I please
How do I walk boys?
HARD
When I meet my maker on my dying day
Gonna look him in the eye and by god I'll say
I gave my word and my word was good
I took it in the face and walked as hard as I could
