OBA From The Inside My Soul Speaks

OILFIELDBADASS from the inside my soul speaks.

I been patchin’ up a heart with holes too wide.

Fallin’ in love with the thought of what could be,

Tryin’ to fill the empty places nobody else can see.

My brain’s a crowded room of things I can’t say,

Words heavy like iron, rustin’ away.

Tryin’ to build somethin’ real from broken parts,

A man with busted knuckles and a thousand‑mile heart.

Fought every battle like I had somethin’ to prove,

But swingin’ nonstop’ll make your vision lose its groove.

When you fight without winnin’, you get tired in the soul—

And the world starts echoing through every hole.

[Hook] — (Soul/Rock Chorus)

I’m sharing my thoughts from the inside,

Put ’em out for the whole world to see.

There’s a thousand people out there

Who think just like me.

These are my thoughts, my cross, my road,

A man carryin’ weight with a God‑given load.

Not everyone will get it, not eve

Verse 2 — (Gospel‑Blues)

I turn to God, lay it all at His feet,

He’s the only one who knows the war beneath.

He lets me walk through storms that shape my spine,

Lessons carved deep like scripture in time.

Sometimes my outside smiles while my inside bleeds,

But God gave me the strength to meet other people’s needs.

Gave me the wisdom to lift folks when I’m low,

To make ‘em laugh at the pain they don’t wanna show.

And maybe that’s purpose, maybe that’s grace—

To shine a little light from a shadowed place.

[Hook] — (Soul/Rock Chorus)

I’m sharing my thoughts from the inside,

Put ’em out for the whole world to see.

There’s a thousand people out there

Who think just like me.

STOP HOLDING EVERYTHING IN—

TELL YOUR STORY—

SET IT ALL FREEEEEEEEE.

These are my thoughts, my cross, my road,

A man carryin’ weight with a God‑given load.

Not everyone will get it, not everyone will see—

But this is my truth,

My journey,

My soul set free

Verse 3 — (Rock Ballad)

We’re all given a cross, heavy as stone,

But it’s ours to pick up and walk with alone.

I choose to walk with God, even when I crawl,

Even when my heart don’t feel nothin’ at all.

I believe in eternity, I know this life is brief,

A flicker of a flame, a moment of grief.

Maybe my heart won’t heal on this side of the sky,

But heaven’s got a way of fixin’ what we can’t define.

Somewhere along the road I lost what love feels like—

I remember the butterflies, but not the flight.

I remember the moments, but not the spark,

Like echoes of a fire that forgot how to start.

[Hook] — (Soul/Rock Chorus)

I’m sharing my thoughts from the inside,

Put ’em out for the whole world to see.

There’s a thousand people out there

Who think just like me.

These are my thoughts, my cross, my road,

A man carryin’ weight with a God‑given load.

Not everyone will get it, not everyone will see—

But this is my truth,

My journey,

My soul set free

My soul belongs to God, and it’s whole, it’s bright,

But my heart down here still aches at night.

My soul knows the ending.
