williash[Intro]
Yeah, I came from dirt roads and daylight,
Boots on the ground, dreams in plain sight.
[Verse 1]
Grew up where the sunset paints the sky gold,
Thunder in my chest, heart never gets cold.
Mama said “boy, don’t you ever lose hope,”
Daddy taught me how to stand and how to cope.
Old trucks, big dreams, long nights, wild streams,
Life hit hard but I fought, nothin’ came free.
They said small-town kids don’t make history —
Well watch me, I’m writin’ my own legacy.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hard times made me tough,
Dust storms, I stood up.
Faith strong, never gave up —
Yeah that’s just how I’m built.
[Chorus] (anthem, proud)
I was raised on grit and a fighting heart,
Never backed down, yeah I play my part.
Storms tried to break me, but I ain’t fallin’ apart,
I rise like the sun in the dark.
Boots on the ground, head to the stars,
I know who I am, I remember my scars.
I was raised on grit, yeah, right from the start,
That country soul — that’s who we are.
[Verse 2]
Bonfire nights, guitars and old friends,
Love hits deep but heartbreak mends.
The road gets rough, but we ride again,
Country boys don’t break — we bend.
Front porch prayers when times got tight,
God, give me strength, gonna win this f***t.
Cuz in this heart there's a wildfire light,
Burns real loud like a Friday night.
[Bridge]
I ain’t perfect, no, but I’m proud of these roots,
Dirt on my jeans and mud on my boots.
Dream on my back that I’ll never lose —
Yeah I’m built from truth.
[Final Chorus]
I was raised on grit and a fighting heart,
Never backed down, yeah I play my part.
Storms tried to break me, but I ain’t fallin’ apart,
I rise like the sun in the dark.
Boots on the ground, head to the stars,
I know who I am, I remember my scars.
I was raised on grit, yeah, right from the start,
That country soul — that’s who we are.
[Outro]
Yeah… that’s who we are.
Raised on grit, raised on heart. 🤍🌾
