[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Blood in my smile
I got that little-town fire
Been running a while
They said sit down, hush up
Stay sweet, stay small
I learned how to stand taller
When I hit the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I hear that old fear
Try to call my name
But I cut through the noise, babe
I don't play that game
I got a heart full of thunder
And a hand on the wheel
I bend, I don't break
Yeah, that's the deal
[Chorus]
Watch me rise, watch me rise
I was built for this life
Watch me rise, watch me rise
With my boots on fire
Tell 'em I won't back down
Tell 'em I won't back down
Watch me rise, watch me rise
With my boots on fire
[Verse 2]
Mama kept a straight spine
Daddy taught grit
I wore every hard word
Like a perfect fit
Now the world wants a piece of me
Wants the easy prize
But I got scars like silver
And a storm in my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I hear that old fear
Try to call my name
But I cut through the noise, babe
I don't play that game
I got a heart full of thunder
And a hand on the wheel
I bend, I don't break
Yeah, that's the deal
[Chorus]
Watch me rise, watch me rise
I was built for this life
Watch me rise, watch me rise
With my boots on fire
Tell 'em I won't back down
Tell 'em I won't back down
Watch me rise, watch me rise
With my boots on fire
[Bridge]
If I fall, I'll fall forward
If I bleed, I'll bloom
I was made from these hard miles
And this open room
So raise it up, baby
Let the whole world see
This old-country heartbeat
Is the best part of me
[Final Chorus]
Watch me rise, watch me rise
I was built for this life
Watch me rise, watch me rise
With my boots on fire
Tell 'em I won't back down
Tell 'em I won't back down
Watch me rise, watch me rise
With my boots on fire
