[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Gas in the tank
Six-pack grin
And a dented tailgate
Left that old road
With a two-word prayer
Now my name sits
On the county fair
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama said, "Boy"
Keep your head on straight
I was barely holding on
But I found my way
Now the whole town
Sees me roll back through
And I got one thing
I wanna tell you
[Chorus]
Girl I’ve made it
From the edge of gone
To the top of the ladder
Look at me now
I’m standing up better
[Verse 2]
Scratched-out dreams
On a motel pad
Long nights, hard roads
Was all I had
You kept calling
When I missed my mark
Said keep that fire
Burning in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the porch light
Hits a new gold shine
And the old hurts fade
In the rearview line
If you ever wondered
Where this heart would go
Baby, I’m home
And you oughta know
[Chorus]
Girl I’ve made it
From the edge of gone
To the top of the ladder
Look at me now
I’m standing up better
[Bridge]
I wore out the gravel
I wore out my pride
Took a whole lot of breaking
To get here alive
But your name in my mouth
Still feels like truth
The road got long
But it led me to you
[Final Chorus]
Girl I’ve made it
From the edge of gone
To the top of the ladder
Look at me now
I’m standing up better
Girl I’ve made it
I came back strong
And I’m here to stay forever
