[Intro]
Snapback crooked
Red dirt on my boots
Heart full of trouble
Truck full of truth
[Verse 1]
Mama said, "Boy, keep your head down"
I was out back spray‑paintin' my name
Old farm road turnin' into my stage now
Headlights lookin' like a spotlight flame
Got a Bible on the dash, got a flask in the door
Sunday in my chest, Friday on the floor
Whole town talkin' like they know what I do
But they never rode shotgun, never seen this view
[Chorus]
Country boy do what a country boy do
Turn that pain to fuel, turn the mud to a move
Got one hand grippin' on an old breakthrough
Other hand high, sayin', "This my proof"
Yeah, they point, they laugh, they don't have a clue
You can bet I’m still gonna see it all through
Live small town loud with a big-time crew
Country boy do what a country boy do
[Verse 2]
Tires hum low like a bassline growl
Heartbeat hittin' in a four‑on‑the‑ground
Tattoo of a fence post, barbed‑wire crown
I wear my mistakes like a hand‑me‑down
Got scars on my knuckles from a high‑school brawl
Got ghosts in the bleachers when I pass that wall
I ain’t run from the dark, made friends with it too
Taught it how to dance in these worn‑out shoes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Black sky, tailgate throne
Still here, all on my own
Wind say "boy, you were built to lose"
I turn that doubt to a battle‑cry bruise (yeah)
[full voice, gang vocals]
From the barn to the bar to the big stage lights
I’m the same dirt kid with a jaw for the fight
If they ask who I am when I’m cut clean through
Tell ’em, "Heart on his sleeve, did what he had to do"
[Chorus]
