earned and loved

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
