He's a Western Cherokee a veteran man

Been around this whole wide world and back again

Seen hard roads strange places folks you can't explain

Learned to keep his boots down when the weather changed

He don't back down from a job or a hard damn day

Doesn't talk much trouble he just gets in its way

If it's broke he'll fix it if it's stuck he won't quit

By the time you get there David's moved it

First in last out

That's the way he rolls

Ozark mountain backbone

And a fire in his soul

You can take it easy

That's all right with him

But if you like it hard

Then we'll do it again

First in last out

That's David's day without a doubt

He knows the quiet water where the fish still bite

Knows the deer trails winding through the timber at night

When the week runs long and the work clock's done

He'll ride his Harley where the ridge road runs

He's got more than one good ride more than one good story too

Some about the hard days only known by few

He don't need to tell you what the world put in his hands

You can see it in the way he works and where he makes his stand

First in last out

That's the way he rolls

Ozark mountain backbone

And a fire in his soul

You can take it easy

That's all right with him

But if you like it hard

Well then let's begin

First in last out

That's David's day without a doubt

If you want to take it easy then he'll wish you well

But if you want the hard road you best be ready for hell

And if you want to settle something behind the woodshed son

You best be sure you mean it when the talking's done

He'll be at the work before your day's begun

And still be there after yours is done

So just know this

He always picks it up

And always carries on

First in last out

That's the way he rolls

Ozark mountain backbone

And a fire in his soul

Around the world and back again

To these Ozark mountain ways

First in last out

That's David's kind of day

First in last out

That's David's day without a doubt
