Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I grew up on red dirt roads

And a screen door slam at noon

Mama sang while she packed my lunch

Daddy worked till the moon

I wore out a pair of boots

Chasing fields and chasing change

Now I pull up in a borrowed truck

Still smelling like last rain

[Pre-Chorus]

I got one foot back home

One foot where I’m headed

Every scar on my sleeve

Still says I earned it

And I learned real quick

You can lose and still keep going

So I smile through the break

Let the whole world know it

[Chorus]

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Mud on my name, but I stand tall

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Made my own road, paid every call

(Still that boy)

Heart been heavy, but I won’t fold

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Half wild, half hope

[Verse 2]

I’ve had nights I drove too far

Just to outrun what I felt

Phone screen lit with old replies

And a prayer I kept to myself

I met love in a record store

Lost it in a county line

Now I keep a little faith

In the backseat all the time

[Pre-Chorus]

I got dust in my lungs

And a gold chain of memories

Every wrong turn taught me

What a promise really means

So I laugh when they ask

How I keep my head above it

I was built by the hard days

And I still love them

[Chorus]

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Mud on my name, but I stand tall

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Made my own road, paid every call

(Still that boy)

Heart been heavy, but I won’t fold

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Half wild, half hope

[Bridge]

If you hear me now

You hear the long way home

Hear my mama’s voice

In the way I hold my own

I’m a patchwork soul

With a hundred little truths

But I keep showing up

Like I got something to prove

[Chorus]

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Mud on my name, but I stand tall

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Made my own road, paid every call

(Still that boy)

Heart been heavy, but I won’t fold

I’m still that boy

Still that boy

Half wild, half hope
