(SEC:INTRO)
(INST:ACG soft)
(VOC:M raspy close)
All-American dad, boots by the door
Kids think he’s stronger than ever before
Porch light glowin’ like a halo sign
But he knows the battles behind that shine
(SEC:PRE1)
(INST:pad low)
Some lines don’t fade with time
They wait at the county line
(SEC:CH1)
(INST:rim lite)
(VOC:M lead+h)
He did time in his own damn mind
Tryin’ to walk that line
King Ranch parked in the yard at night
Like freedom still on trial
They still run to him like he never failed
Like he’s ten feet tall
In them King Ranch shadows
He won’t let himself fall
(SEC:V2)
(INST:ACG+bs lite)
We all got days we wish we could take
Words we’d give anything to erase
But those little hands still reach for him
Like grace don’t care where you’ve been
He ain’t perfect, he ain’t clean
But he’s fightin’ for what they believe
One sober sunrise at a time
One step closer to that line
(SEC:PRE2)
(INST:cello rise)
Heart still beatin’ through the doubt
He ain’t turnin’ back around
(SEC:BRK)
(INST:pno only)
(VOC:M fragile)
They still believe in him
Even when he don’t
They still see a hero
Even when he won’t
Squares his shoulders in the dark
Makes a promise to his heart
I might’ve stumbled before
But I ain’t quittin’ anymore
(SEC:CH2 BIG)
(INST:full drms+str)
(VOC:M lead+big h)
He did time in his own damn mind
But he’s steppin’ toward the light
King Ranch rollin’ slow tonight
No more runnin’ from that fight
They still run to him like he’s ten feet tall
And that’s enough to change it all
In them King Ranch shadows
He’s standin’ tall
(SEC:OUT)
(INST:ACG fade)
Lord I’m standin’ tall
