I was born where the creek cuts deep
Where the mud runs red and the roots run steep
Mama taught me how to shoot and pray
Daddy showed me how to work all day
I play my guitar ‘til the moon comes out
Singin’ hallelujah with a whiskey shout
I got calloused hands and a Bible in my purse
Raised on Johnny Cash and Sunday church
Ain’t afraid to fight, ain’t ashamed to cry
Got Jesus in my soul and fire in my eyes
Yeah, I’m rough ’round the edges, don’t need no flirt
Just a country girl rockin’ her heels in the dirt
I’ll roll up my sleeves for a broken fence
Drive a stick shift like it’s heaven-sent
I’ll dance all night at the county fair
Hair full of dust and I don’t even care
I can skin a buck, fry up some beans
Then sing Amazing Grace like a tambourine
I got calloused hands and a Bible in my purse
Raised on Johnny Cash and Sunday church
Ain’t afraid to fight, ain’t ashamed to cry
Got Jesus in my soul and fire in my eyes
Yeah, I’m rough ’round the edges, don’t need no flirt
Just a country girl rockin’ her heels in the dirt
I don’t need the city, I don’t need the shine
Just a porch swing, stars, and a bottle of wine
My kin’s got my back, my boots hold the ground
I was made for this life, I ain’t slowin’ down
So if you see me ridin’ in a jacked-up Ford
With a six-string hangin’ and the pedal floored
Know I’m singin’ for the lost and the proud
For every small-town girl standin’ strong and loud
I got calloused hands and a Bible in my purse
Raised on Johnny Cash and Sunday church
Ain’t afraid to fight, ain’t ashamed to cry
Got Jesus in my soul and fire in my eyes
Yeah, I’m rough ’round the edges, don’t need no flirt
Just a country girl rockin’ her heels in the dirt
Mmm, just a red-clay queen with a song to sing
And a whole lotta love for the King of Kings
