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)
(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)
(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)
(Still that boy)
Heart been heavy, but I won’t fold
I’m still that boy
Still that boy
Half wild, half hope
