Verse 1
I been draggin’ old ghosts down a long dirt road,
Every mile felt heavier than the last one I rode.
Whiskey on my breath, fire in my chest,
Tryin’ to outrun the man I used to be—hell, I tried my best.
Chorus
But I’m breakin’ these chains like a wild horse loose,
Burnin’ down the lies, cuttin’ every excuse.
Ain’t lookin’ back at the mess I made—
Ashes turn to freedom in the light of a new day.
Yeah, I’m dustin’ off my name…
I’m finally walkin’ out of my own damn way.
Verse 2
There were nights I’d fall hard, let the darkness win,
Hear my old mistakes knockin’, wantin’ back in.
But a man gets tired of his own regrets,
Like boots worn thin from roads he shoulda never stepped.
Chorus
But I’m breakin’ these chains like a wild horse loose,
Burnin’ down the lies, cuttin’ every excuse.
Ain’t lookin’ back at the mess I made—
Ashes turn to freedom in the light of a new day.
Yeah, I’m dustin’ off my name…
I’m finally walkin’ out of my own damn way.
Verse 3
Now the sun hits different on this cleaner trail,
I ain’t perfect, but hell, I ain’t destined to fail.
Got a heartbeat steady like a blacktop drum,
And a promise to myself that the worst days ain’t the sum.
Chorus
‘Cause I’m breakin’ these chains like a wild horse loose,
Burnin’ down the lies, cuttin’ every excuse.
Ain’t lookin’ back at the mess I made—
Ashes turn to freedom in the light of a new day.
Yeah, I’m dustin’ off my name…
I’m finally walkin’ out of my own damn way.
