(Verse 1)
Steel toe boots and a scar on my chin,
Learned young how to lose, learned twice how to win.
Grew up on mud, gasoline, and sin,
With a fistful of fight and a fifth of gin.
Daddy swung hammers, mama swung words,
They raised a wolf who don’t run with the herd.
Got a Bible in the dash, but it’s covered in dust,
And a heart made of whiskey, fire, and rust.
(Pre-Chorus)
Mama said, “Boy, you better slow down.”
I said, “Mama, I don’t brake for this town.”
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m hellbound and proud, crank that whiskey loud,
Born a sinner, not ashamed, just standin’ out from the crowd.
Got that southern smoke, that rebel in my smile —
Hellbound and proud, baby, that’s my style.
(Verse 2)
Barroom queen with a wild side grin,
She said, “You play rough?” I said, “Baby, I sin.”
We danced through the smoke, broke the law in the dark,
Left tread marks of love on her daddy’s old park.
I’ve been chased by cops, cursed by preachers,
Outdrank the saints and out-sung the teachers.
Ain’t no halo hangin’ near this head,
But I’ll die on my feet before I live half-dead.
(Pre-Chorus)
Got scars like medals, pain like art,
You can’t cage what don’t got a heart.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m hellbound and proud, crank that whiskey loud,
Lightin’ fires where the law don’t allow.
Got that southern smoke, that rebel in my smile —
Hellbound and proud, baby, that’s my style.
(Bridge)
No regrets, no second guess,
Middle finger up to the ones who left.
We ain’t lost, we’re just unfound,
Ridin’ steel horses through a ghost town.
Every scar’s a song, every bruise a crown,
We’re the kings of the dirt where the lost get found.
(Final Chorus)
Hellbound and proud, pour that whiskey down,
We ain’t angels, but we run this ground.
Raise your glass, let the guitars howl —
Hellbound and proud, forever foul.
(Outro)
So here’s to the nights we don’t remember,
And the fights we’ll never surrender.
Ain’t lookin’ for heaven, just a little bit of loud —
Hellbound and proud, that’s how I’m found.
