[Verse 1]
You said I’d settle down
Like I’d fold that fast
But I got a name
Burned into my chest
I clock in all week
Then I cut loose hard
Dust on my boots
And a scar on my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
So don’t tell me
This ain’t me
I’ve been this way
Since I was seventeen
You can roll your eyes
You can turn away
But I’m still standing here
And I’ll say what I say
[Chorus]
Change my mind
If you can
Change my mind
Go on, try
I was born this way
With my boots in the dirt
Change my mind
If you can
[Verse 2]
Mama taught me grace
Daddy taught me grit
I learned how to lose
Then I learned how to quit
Now I see your smile
And I see that spark
You pull like a hook
Through the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
So don’t tell me
This ain’t right
When your hand fits mine
Like a porch light
I’ve made my choice
And I’m all in
You can call it stubborn
I call it the wind
[Chorus]
Change my mind
If you can
Change my mind
Go on, try
I was born this way
With my boots in the dirt
Change my mind
If you can
[Bridge]
If love’s a long shot
I like my odds
If it’s a hard road
We’ll take the rocks
I’m not asking for easy
I’m asking for true
And baby, right now
That’s me and you
[Final Chorus]
Change my mind
If you can
Change my mind
Go on, try
I was born this way
With my boots in the dirt
Change my mind
If you can
Change my mind
I’m all in
Change my mind
Go on, try
If you want me gone
You’re gonna have to prove
Change my mind
If you can
