Montgomery Gentry

Montgomery Gentry is an American country music duo composed of vocalists Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry, both natives of Kentucky. The two began performing in the 1990s as part of two different bands with Montgomery's brother, John Michael Montgomery. Although Gentry won a talent contest in 1994, he reunited with Eddie Montgomery after Gentry was unable to find a solo record deal, and Montgomery Gentry was founded in 1999. The duo is known for its Southern rock influences, and has collaborated with Charlie Daniels, Toby Keith, Five for Fighting and members of The Allman Brothers Band. more »

I learn what I know
But I was born this way
More of a number
And less of a name
I talk a little too quiet
And not enough, they say
I only tell my secrets
When it’s time to pray

You wouldn’t see the war just lookin’ from the outside
I’ve got red-dirt blood here runnin on the inside

Sink or swim, live or die
A saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid
It’s never just another day
And you don’t back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am
What it takes
What it takes

Wash away my footprints
With the undertow
While I’ll walk the wire of the great unknown
I got two parts too
My storied soul
One stands with my brothers, one waits for me back at home

Sink or swim, live or die
A saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid
It’s never just another day
And you don’t back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am
What it takes

You wouldn’t see the war just lookin’ from the outside
I’ve got red-dirt blood here runnin on the inside

Sink or swim, live or die
A saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid
It’s never just another day
And you don’t back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am
What it takes
Oh, what it takes
What it takes
