[Verse 1]
I got a dip in my lip
And I don’t give a shit
Mud on my boots again
Same old hard luck grin
Backroad in my blood
Rust on the truck bed rail
I learned to bite my tongue
But I never learned to kneel
[Pre-Chorus]
You can stare at me
I’ll stare back
Ain’t no polished shine
On a road gone black
[Chorus]
I stand my ground
I stand my ground
I don’t fold now
I stand my ground
With a lip full of dust
And a heart built tough
I stand my ground
I stand my ground
[Verse 2]
Sunburn on the neck
Hands all cut and rough
Mama said “boy, stay loud
When the whole world gets too much”
I’ve been knocked around
I’ve been let down hard
Still I spit that fire
From the scrap yard to the yard
[Pre-Chorus]
You can call it pride
Call it plain old nerve
I’m still here, still mean
Still hard to curve
[Chorus]
I stand my ground
I stand my ground
I don’t fold now
I stand my ground
With a lip full of dust
And a heart built tough
I stand my ground
I stand my ground
[Bridge]
Let the world come close
Let it test this frame
I was built in the grit
I was cut from flame
[Chorus]
I stand my ground
I stand my ground
I don’t fold now
I stand my ground
With a lip full of dust
And a heart built tough
I stand my ground
I stand my ground
