[Verse 1]
I left my tracks in the dust
By the wash and the fence line
Moon cut silver on the mesquite
And I kept on past midnight
In the weeds and thorns I go
Boots torn up, heart still burning
Every scar I got tells me
I ain't done, I'm still learning
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't fold, I don't freeze
I just slip through the cedar trees
When the world tries to chain me down
I shake it off and bare my teeth
[Chorus]
I’m a coyote
Roaming wild and free
I’m a coyote
Wild and free
Blades drew blood
I got bandaids on bullet holes
I’m a coyote
Wild and free
[Verse 2]
Saw my own name in a cheap motel sign
Then I laughed and drove right through it
Lost my boots and found my nerve
Had to get a little bruised to do it
Sand in my cuffs, dust on my jacket
Ain't no grave gonna claim me early
I was born for the hard road
And the hard road knows me already
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't fold, I don't freeze
I just slip through the cedar trees
When the world tries to chain me down
I shake it off and bare my teeth
[Chorus]
I’m a coyote
Roaming wild and free
I’m a coyote
Wild and free
Blades drew blood
I got bandaids on bullet holes
I’m a coyote
Wild and free
[Bridge]
Let 'em talk from the porch light
Let 'em stare at the fence
I was made for the back roads
And a little bit of damage
Yeah, I carry my hurt like proof
That I made it through the hard part
Still running with a full moon
And a fire in my chest
[Final Chorus]
I’m a coyote
Roaming wild and free
I’m a coyote
Wild and free
Blades drew blood
I got bandaids on bullet holes
I’m a coyote
Wild and free
I’m a coyote
Roaming wild and free
I’m a coyote
Wild and free
