[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 āboy, donāt you ever lose hope,ā
Daddy taught me how to stand and how to cope.
Old trucks, big dreams, long nights, wild streams,
Life hit hard but I fought, nothinā came free.
They said small-town kids donāt make history ā
Well watch me, Iām writinā my own legacy.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hard times made me tough,
Dust storms, I stood up.
Faith strong, never gave up ā
Yeah thatās just how Iām 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 aināt fallinā 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 ā thatās 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 donāt break ā 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 aināt perfect, no, but Iām proud of these roots,
Dirt on my jeans and mud on my boots.
Dream on my back that Iāll never lose ā
Yeah Iām 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 aināt fallinā 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 ā thatās who we are.
[Outro]
Yeah⦠thatās who we are.
Raised on grit, raised on heart. š¤š¾
