Verse 1 [clean, gritty]
Red dirt boots and a beat-up Chevy
Rust on the door but the engine’s ready
Radio low, but my thoughts too loud
Small-town fire in a midnight crowd
Mama said, “Boy, don’t lose your way”
But the road keeps calling me anyway
Got scars on my hands, pride in my chest
Born to run, never meant to rest
Pre-Chorus [build]
Hear that thunder in my veins
Every mile just feeds the flames
When the night starts screaming my name
I don’t hit brakes, I shift the pain
Chorus [heavy]
This is blood and steel
Country soul with a metal feel
Rev it up, let the whole world know
I was built for the dark back roads
Yeah, smoke and fire
Heaven help me, I’m wired
If I burn out chasing what’s real
I’ll go down in dust and diesel
⸻
Verse 2 [clean → growl]
Shotgun laughs and a six-string cry
Barroom lights and a barbed-wire sky
Every lie’s got a price to pay
Every sinner’s got something to say
Town talk loud but it don’t mean much
I trust the road and my calloused touch
If I fall, I fall full speed
On four black tires and a bad belief
Pre-Chorus [half scream]
Hear that thunder in my veins
Every mile just feeds the flames
When the night starts screaming my name
I don’t hit brakes, I shift the pain
Chorus [full metal hit]
This is blood and steel
Country soul with a metal feel
Rev it up, let the whole world know
I was built for the dark back roads
Yeah, smoke and fire
Heaven help me, I’m wired
If I burn out chasing what’s real
I’ll go down in dust and diesel
⸻
Bridge [breakdown]
[Chugging guitars]
Gravel in my teeth—
Faith in my fists—
Pray if you want, I’m already lit
[Silence → shout]
TURN. IT. UP.
⸻
Final Chorus [anthem style]
This blood and steel
Heartland howl with a killer feel
No slow lane, no saving face
Just a redline life I won’t erase
Yeahhhhhhhhh, smoke and fire
Ride or die, no higher wire
If I burn out chasing what’s real
I’ll go down in dust and diesel (Dust and Diesel)
Outro [clean, echo]
Red dirt boots… engine screaming
Dust and diesel… still believing
