earned and loved

[Intro]
Hey there, I’m just a simple man,
With a heart that understands,
Every scar, every smile I’ve earned,
Got a story that I’ve burned to tell.

[Verse 1]
Started from the dirt, worked my way up high,
Late nights, hard fights beneath theopen sky,
Every penny, every dime, I put in line,
For these dreams and this little piece of mine.

[Pre-Chorus]
With my hands, I built my own story,
Fueled by sweat, and a little bit of glory.
And I’ve got a girl, my best friend,
She’s my strength in the storm, my solid end.

[Chorus]
I’ve earned what I got, yeah, I fought for it,
Every step I took, I never quit,
With her by my side, love’s a victory,
And this country’s still the home of me.

[Verse 2]
She’s the song in my heart, the fire in my soul,
My partner, my rock, she makes me whole.
In her eyes, I see my worth shine bright,
And I thank this land for giving me the right.

[Pre-Chorus]
To stand tall, hold my head high,
Cherish every day beneath this endless sky.
With her love, I’m finally free,
A grateful man, as proud as can be.

[Chorus]
I’ve earned what I got, yeah, I fought for it,
Every step I took, I never quit,
With her by my side, love’s a victory,
And this country’s still the home of me.

[Bridge]
From the plains to the hills, I wear my pride,
A simple thank you, to this homeland I abide.
With her hand in mine, we face the dawn,
A love so strong, it’s forever drawn.

[Outro]
So here’s my song, straight from my heart,
A working man’s story, a brand new start.
With her love and my country’s grace,
I’ve truly found my perfect place.
