Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Started with a full tank and an empty plan Thought I had it figured out as a young man Bills stacked high, love ran cold Dreams broke down before they got old Hit a stretch where the lights went dark Rain on the windshield, doubts in my heart Every mile tried to shake my faith But I learned quick how much I can take Pre-Chorus Yeah, life don’t slow down when you lose control It just shows you what you’re made of Chorus I was built for bad roads Rattlin’ frames and busted tires Every asphalt scar, every wrong turn Just added fuel to the fire I bend, I bruise, but I don’t break I keep pushin’ with a heavy load If this life’s a test of what I’m made of I was built for bad roads Verse 2 Lost some money, lost some friends Trusted hearts that turned on me in the end Had nights I slept in my own doubt Wondered if I’d ever find my way out But the engine still turned every time Even runnin’ low on fuel, she crossed that line Learned pain don’t mean you’re done Sometimes it means you’re not done yet, son Pre-Chorus Every breakdown taught me how To get back up and roll on out Chorus I was built for bad roads Potholes deep and sideways rain Every scar I carry proves I survived the worst of the pain I bend, I bruise, but I don’t break I keep pushin’ with a heavy load If this life’s a test of what I’m made of I was built for bad roads Bridge (Male Choir singing) Midnight stranded, hood up high, Wondering how I’m still getting by Then the dawn breaks amber and gold Sunrise whispering, “you didn’t fold” Final Chorus I was built for bad roads Storm-lashed miles and dust-choked lanes Every hard mile hardened me Every loss taught me my strength I bend, I bruise, but I don’t break I keep movin’ with the heaviest of loads If the long way’s what it takes to make it home I was built for bad roads Outro Yeah, I ain’t smooth pavement, I ain’t easy miles But I’m still rollin’… And that’s survival.
