My Word Is My Bond

[Verse 1]
Word ain't cheap, it's a weight I carry,
Heavier than the mud on boots I bury.
Delta air thick, sweat drips like syrup,
Catchin’ sunsets, fish jump, the water stirs up.
[Prechorus]
One chance, no rewind, no replay,
I'd rather lose than cheat my own say.
[Chorus]
My word is my bond, my roots in the clay,
Burn my name? Nah, I'd walk away.
Respect rides farther than a fast Mustang,
Out here, honor ain't just a thing.
[Verse 2]
Chasin' dreams where the river bends,
Catfish lurking, patience my only friend.
Sky's a fire, gold bleeding into blue,
Promise made, promise kept, that's my view.
[Bridge]
Pride’s a house, built brick by brick,
One lie’s a hammer, it breaks too quick.
I'd rather ride slow, let the truth hum,
Than race to riches where respect ain't from.
[Chorus]
My word is my bond, my roots in the clay,
Burn my name? Nah, I'd walk away.
Respect rides farther than a fast Mustang,
Out here, honor ain't just a thing.
