In It To Win It - Tab Benoit

I was born in southeast delta

I played in the sugar cane

Me friends with the snakes and 'gators

I knew them all by name

My daddy was a driller

He did his job with pride

My mama was raising horses

And taught me how to ride

But that stuff didn’t fit me

I had to be myself

'Cause you can’t be somebody

Try to be somebody else

You gotta get in it to win it

Life is a game we play

Gotta get in it to win it

Before you waste away

Living out of suitcase

Traveling far and wide

Sure don’t seem like a good life

Looking from the other side

Everybody’s been digging

For what I learned out there

I’m bringing on home, mama

Sure, I still care

All of my game is my story

And I know how to play

And now I am somebody

And you can’t take that away

You gotta get in it to win it

Let your light shine through

Gotta get in it to win it

Now the worlds been waiting on you
