[Intro]
Strumming soft, banjo wind, echoes of the past in the glow of sunset
Heavy drums roll, boots on the ground, life's a journey I won't forget
[Verse 1]
Started out like a young colt chasing dreams in open fields
Burned my hands on barbed wire, learned the pain is how it feels
Every scar's a story, every fall's another mile
I’ve been knocked down but I got up, wear my resilience in my smile
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know the road’s been long, shadows dancing in the finish line
But every step I’ve taken has been forging this heart of mine
[Chorus]
Dust your boots off, stand tall through the rain,
Sometimes you gotta lose, just to find your way again
The past ain’t a prison, it’s a mirror of what’s true
Growing into your prime, see what you’ve been through
[Verse 2]
Late nights in the dirt, a fire burning in my soul
Every dawn a new chapter, I’ve played a willing role
Faces came and went, but the lessons stayed the same
Strength in every memory, riding through the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know the road’s been long, shadows dancing in the finish line
But every step I’ve taken has been forging this heart of mine
[Chorus]
Dust your boots off, stand tall through the rain,
Sometimes you gotta lose, just to find your way again
The past ain’t a prison, it’s a mirror of what’s true
Growing into your prime, see what you’ve been through
[Bridge]
Guitar solo stretches out like open country roads
Heavy drums pounding like the heartbeat I know
Ambient sounds of the outdoors, whispering winds
Reminding me, life’s a fight you don’t ever outgrow
[Outro]
So I’ll keep riding, keep climbing, never slow down
The best is yet to come, it’s in this solid ground
Dust your boots off, there's tomorrow to meet
In every step I take, I find my heartbeat
