Verse 1
He was a mountain man, rugged and strong,
With calloused hands, he worked all day long.
An old leather hat and boots worn down,
Chopping timber, shaping this town.
Pre-Chorus
With every swing, you could see it in his eyes,
A fire for freedom, never compromised.
Chorus
It was axe and honor, blood and sweat,
Carving out a life he’d never regret.
Through storms and rain, he stood tall and true,
Doing what a real man’s gotta do.
Axe and honor, hard as steel,
That kind of courage you can’t conceal.
Verse 2
He'd seen his fair share of loss and pain,
But he’d still rise and swing that axe again.
The forest knew his name, it felt his strength,
He’d cut it down or walk its length.
Pre-Chorus
With every tree that fell, he’d stand proud,
Living by a code that won’t back down.
Chorus
It was axe and honor, blood and sweat,
Carving out a life he’d never forget.
Through storms and rain, he stood tall and true,
Doing what a real man’s gotta do.
Axe and honor, hard as steel,
That kind of courage you can’t conceal.
Bridge
He didn’t chase money, didn’t crave fame,
Just wanted his word to stay the same.
A vow to himself and the land he loved,
Bound to the earth, to the skies above.
Verse 3
One stormy night, they heard the trees cry,
As lightning struck from a midnight sky.
But there he was, steady and brave,
Saving his town from a fiery grave.
Chorus
It was axe and honor, blood and sweat,
Leaving behind what they’d never forget.
Through storms and flames, he’d stay true,
Doing what a real man’s gotta do.
Axe and honor, hard as steel,
That kind of courage you can’t conceal.
Outro
Now his story lives, carved in the wood,
Of a man who did the best he could.
With axe and honor, he walked his line,
A true mountain man of another time.
