[Verse 1]
Muddy boots at the back door
Dad said, "Work before more"
Learned to swing, learned to mend
Take the hit, stand again
Lunch pail, cracked knuckles
Blue-jean knees, old truck troubles
Church floor, Friday dust
If it breaks, fix it up
[Pre-Chorus]
They talk big on the screen
But that ain't what raised me
Mama prayed, Daddy cussed
Still taught me how to trust
[Chorus]
Raised tough, raised right
Work all day, sleep all night
Keep your roots, hold tight
Ain't my lane, ain't my fight
Raised tough, raised right
Don't bend me, I'll be fine
Country blood, hard line
Ain't my lane, ain't my fight
[Verse 2]
Grandpa's hands like leather
Storms came, held it together
No silver spoon, no applause
Just a life built on laws
Seen folks chase a new trend
Lose their name to fit in
I keep mine in the dirt
Where a promise still works
[Pre-Chorus]
They can shout, they can sell
I know my own self
If it's real, it stays
If it folds, it fades
[Chorus]
Raised tough, raised right
Work all day, sleep all night
Keep your roots, hold tight
Ain't my lane, ain't my fight
Raised tough, raised right
Don't bend me, I'll be fine
Country blood, hard line
Ain't my lane, ain't my fight
[Bridge]
I don't need no new skin
To know where I been
Same dirt on my boots
Same truth in my roots
[Chorus]
Raised tough, raised right
Work all day, sleep all night
Keep your roots, hold tight
Ain't my lane, ain't my fight
Raised tough, raised right
Don't bend me, I'll be fine
Country blood, hard line
Ain't my lane, ain't my fight
