[Verse 1]
I got Texas in my veins, can’t wash that out
Louisiana on my lips when I spit it out loud
Mississippi on my mind like a river that calls
Spanish roots in my blood when the moonlight falls
Zapata dust on my boots, Natchez in my view
Mama said, “Girl, keep walking till the whole world knows you”
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m rollin’, I’m rollin’
De Zapata to Natchez, I’m goin’
Oh, I’m reachin’, I’m reachin’
Big dreams in a small town, still believing
Oh, I’m rollin’, I’m rollin’
De Zapata to Natchez, I’m goin’
I was born with the fire, born with the fire
And I’m rising higher, higher, higher
[Verse 2]
My abuela prayed over beans on a chipped-up stove
My daddy talked in thunder, taught me how to hold
A note and a grudge and a map in my hand
Said, “Baby, don’t shrink just to fit their land”
I’ve seen hungry roads and the mercy they give
Now I sing every scar like a reason to live
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m rollin’, I’m rollin’
De Zapata to Natchez, I’m goin’
Oh, I’m reachin’, I’m reachin’
Big dreams in a small town, still believing
Oh, I’m rollin’, I’m rollin’
De Zapata to Natchez, I’m goin’
I was born with the fire, born with the fire
And I’m rising higher, higher, higher
[Bridge]
If the world says, “Wait,” I say, “Watch me now”
If the road gets rough, I put roots in the ground
From the Rio Grande to the delta rain
I carry every name, I carry every flame
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m rollin’, I’m rollin’
De Zapata to Natchez, I’m goin’
Oh, I’m reachin’, I’m reachin’
Big dreams in a small town, still believing
Oh, I’m rollin’, I’m rollin’
De Zapata to Natchez, I’m goin’
I was born with the fire, born with the fire
And I’m rising higher, higher, higher
