[Intro]
Yeah, this one’s for the days they counted me out
And every mile I still figured out
[Verse 1]
Born with a road that was harder to drive
TAR syndrome, still learning to thrive
Small hands, big plans, I was built different
Had to make room when the world wouldn’t listen
Doctor’s white coat, questions in a file
Mama held my hand, said, “You’ll find your style”
Some days took patience, some days took pain
But I kept one foot moving through the pouring rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need pity, I need room to stand
A little more time and a steady hand
You can call it a limit, I call it my lane
I know every mile by its first name
[Chorus]
This is my life, rolling strong through the dust
TAR in my story, but it don’t own us
I may take the long way, still get where I’m going
Heart keeps beating and the wheels keep rolling
Raise a glass to the battles nobody sees
To the hard-won breath and the hard-earned dreams
I’m not broken, I’m becoming who I am
Country in my blood, fire in my hands
[Verse 2]
I learned how to ask when I needed a lift
Learned that accepting help ain’t losing your grit
There were doors too narrow, stairs too steep
Promises I made that I still couldn’t keep
But I found new routes, found people who cared
Found strength in the moments when nobody stared
Now I speak my truth with a steady tone
My body’s got a history, but this life is my own
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need saving, just a fair shot
Don’t measure my future by the things I’m not
Every scar, every setback, every bend
Put a little more steel in the way I stand
[Chorus]
This is my life, rolling strong through the dust
TAR in my story, but it don’t own us
I may take the long way, still get where I’m going
Heart keeps beating and the wheels keep rolling
Raise a glass to the battles nobody sees
To the hard-won breath and the hard-earned dreams
I’m not broken, I’m becoming who I am
Country in my blood, fire in my hands
[Bridge]
If your road looks different, let ’em talk awhile
You don’t owe the world a borrowed smile
Take your time, take your space, take your stand
There’s more than one way to build a life by hand
[Final Chorus]
This is my life, rolling strong through the dust
TAR in my story, but it don’t own us
I may take the long way, still get where I’m going
Heart keeps beating and the wheels keep rolling
Raise a glass to the battles nobody sees
To the hard-won breath and the hard-earned dreams
I’m not broken, I’m becoming who I am
Country in my blood, fire in my hands
[Outro]
Yeah, I’m still here, still rising, still free
This road’s got my name, and it’s leading me
