Seth Trey - Salt of the Earth

Rise five minutes later than a quarter to dawn
Ballcap keys wallet boots jacket and gone
Same truck same trailer to a different park
Same food on the table when the day grew dark
When you've worked for a thing you deserve it's worth
I learned from the salt of the earth

Keep your eyes off the prize that gets a rise out of you
Find a line between broke and just come unglued
There's a place for talkin' dirty when your hands are too
And if a stepladder's handy, you can raise the roof
Make sure you're understanding in between the words
I heard from the salt of the earth

I learned
From the salt of the earth
You make a living from whatever
you've been given and work
Ain't broke don't fix it
If it does then do
Don't burning them bridges
Cause you're able to
Be stacking that castle when the king returns
Wise words from the salt of the earth

Sometimes the pedal to the metal means a different pace
When you're geared down hauling up a difficult grade
Get a few good records with a few straight takes
And you can listen to your lessons staying right in your lane
If a second seems reckless you can learn to reverse
I learned from the salt of the earth

I learned
From the salt of the earth
You make a living from
Whatever you've been given and work
That a few good hands'll handle every trade
And you gotta get patience if you're gonna get paid
quit tryna catch fire and remember the burns
I learned from the salt of the earth
