Version 1[Intro] D D D D A [Verse 1] D D I was raised up by my mamma alone Worked herself into the grave G Trying to make us a home A D She never left South Carolina, oh no D My old man didn't stick around to see me grown D G He was long gone 'fore the coffee got cold A D Wouldn't even know where to find him [Chorus] A Woah-ooh-Oh! D Wasn't strong enough A Woah-ooh-Oh! G D He wasn't strong enough D A Alright, alright, alright, alright [Verse 2] D I left home with nothin' but a dream I had D G All I own I could roll up in a paper bag A D Gettin' out of South Carolina, alright D I've been told there's gold in this land D G All I know is what I hold in my own two hands A D If it's out there I'm gonna find it [Chorus] A Oh-ooh-Oh! D Am I strong enough? A Oh-ooh-Oh! G D Am I strong enough? [Instrumental] D A Bm Bm A D [Bridge] A D Everywhere you turn there’s another man slammin’ doors A D A Lookin' at you like he wouldn't even let you sweep his floors [Verse 3] D D I was raised up by my mamma on her own Worked herself into the grave G Trying to make us a home A D Never left South Carolina D I left home with nothing but a dream I had D G All I own I could hold in a paper bag A D Gettin' out of South Carolina [Chorus] A Oh-ooh-Oh! D Am I strong enough? A Oh-ooh-Oh! G D Tell me am I strong enough? A Oh-ooh-Oh! D Am I strong enough? A Oh-ooh-Oh! G D Tell me am I strong enough? [Outro] G D Am I strong enough?
