Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I was born where the pines cut into the sky, Where the creek runs red when the storms roll by. Where the old folks pray For the young ones’ drive, And you learn real young How to keep your pride. Got a broke-in truck And a backbone too — Ain’t scared of the work, Ain’t scared of the truth. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t back down, Don’t run from a fight — I’m Southern-strong, Raised right. [Chorus] I got iron in my blood, Got dirt on my boots, Got a heart full of fire And a soul that don’t spook. I’ve been scarred, I’ve been tried, But I ain’t losing sleep — I’m the wild in the wind That the strong ones keep. I stand tall, I stand tough — I got iron in my blood When the road gets rough. [Verse 2] I’ve seen dark nights break a good man’s will, Seen dreams dry up on a dead-end hill. But I keep a little faith On the dash right there, And a whole lot of grit In a whispered prayer. Got brothers that ride, Got folks that care — And a long line of fighters In my last name’s stare. [Pre-Chorus] Every setback Just fuels my flame — I rise back up, The same damn way. [Chorus] I got iron in my blood, Got dirt on my boots, Got a heart full of fire And a soul that don’t spook. I’ve been scarred, I’ve been tried, But I ain’t losing sleep — I’m the wild in the wind That the strong ones keep. I stand tall, I stand tough — I got iron in my blood When the road gets rough. (Guitar solo) [Bridge] I’m a Friday night light, I’m a backroad hymn, I’m a three-chord truth From a worn-out pen. I carry my past But I don’t break down — I’m the steel in the storm On the edge of this town. [Final Chorus] I got iron in my blood, Got dirt on my boots, Got a wild, stubborn spirit You can’t shake loose. I’ve been bent, I’ve been bruised, But I rise right back — I’m the outlaw heart In the world gone black. I stand tall, I stand tough — I got iron in my blood When the road gets rough.
