(Verse 1)
Sunrise bleeds through the canyon sky,
Boots hit the ground, ain't no alibi,
Whiskey burns and the past still haunts,
But I ride for the things I want.
(Pre-Chorus)
These scars, these roads, they tell my name,
The wind don't whisper — it screams my fate.
(Chorus)
I'm dust and glory, fire and rain,
A runaway heart on a runaway train,
The devil's been trying, but he can't chain me down,
I'm forged in thunder, born to stand proud,
With a six-string soul and a hurricane story,
Yeah, I'm dust… and glory.
(Verse 2)
Barroom lights and broken vows,
Ghosts of love still hanging 'round,
But I ain't one to fall or crawl,
I take the hit and I stand tall.
(Pre-Chorus)
These miles, these scars, they light the flame,
The legends whisper, they know my name.
(Chorus)
I'm dust and glory, fire and rain,
A runaway heart on a runaway train,
The devil's been trying, but he can't chain me down,
I'm forged in thunder, born to stand proud,
With a six-string soul and a hurricane story,
Yeah, I'm dust… and glory.
(Bridge)
Ain't no white flag flying high,
Just a battle cry in a blood-red sky,
I'll carve my song in the canyon wall,
Let ‘em know… I gave it all!
(Final Chorus)
I'm dust and glory, fire and rain,
A runaway heart on a runaway train,
The devil's been trying, but he can't chain me down,
I'm forged in thunder, born to stand proud,
With a six-string soul and a hurricane story,
Yeah, I'm dust… and glory.
(Outro)
Sun sets low, but I ain't done,
The night belongs to the wild ones…
