[Verse 1]
Mud on the boots, not mud on the soul
Fence line cut, yeah, we been self-told
Dad built a house with his hands and his back
I learned early how to take no slack
Cold beer sweat on a tailgate dent
Sun up late, still the day gets spent
Hound dog bark and a pocketknife shine
We don’t ask twice, we draw the line
If you want mine, better come with force
We was raised on grit and a straight-up course
No polished talk, no fake-ass grin
We live out loud where the roads all spin
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the whole county hear it
We don’t bend, we don’t fear it
Try to chain what can’t be tamed
Boy, you better know the name
[Chorus]
Country boys run free
Country boys run free
Don’t give a fuck, that’s me
Don’t give a fuck, that’s me
Country boys run free
Country boys run free
You can’t box this in
We do what we please
[Verse 2]
Work boots stiff from a dawn-to-dark
Hands got scars from a broken spark
County fair dust, then the backroad race
One hand up when we leave that place
Mama said, “Son, keep a hard clean heart”
Never fold up, never fall apart
If the whole world talks, let the whole world talk
We keep on moving with a country walk
Pistol-tap rhythm in a rusty truck
Old fence sagging, but the roots still stuck
We ain’t for sale, not a damn thing changed
Same blood, same bones, same wild-range
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the whole county hear it
We don’t bend, we don’t fear it
Try to chain what can’t be tamed
Boy, you better know the name
[Chorus]
Country boys run free
Country boys run free
Don’t give a fuck, that’s me
Don’t give a fuck, that’s me
Country boys run free
Country boys run free
You can’t box this in
We do what we please
[Bridge]
You can keep your rules and your shiny shoes
We got our own code and we pay our dues
When the night gets mean and the road gets long
We get meaner, bitch, and we stay strong
[Chorus]
Country boys run free
Country boys run free
Don’t give a fuck, that’s me
Don’t give a fuck, that’s me
Country boys run free
Country boys run free
You can’t box this in
We do what we please
