[Verse 1]
No one cares, I see that.
Door slams, and I stay back.
Boots in the mud, head low.
Same hard road, same load.
Mama said, boy, hold fast.
Storm don't ask what you got last.
I got a scar and a grin.
I been down, still crawled in.
[Pre-Chorus]
If it breaks, let it break.
I won't fold, I won't shake.
Fist full of dust, heart in the rain.
Say my name, I feel the pain.
[Chorus]
I fight this battle alone
I fight this battle alone
With my back to the bone
I fight this battle alone (alone)
[Verse 2]
Two-lane miles and a cold cab.
Old chain fence, my hands grab.
No crowd, just the moon up high.
No cheer when I swing by.
They count me out, that’s fine.
I got grit, I got time.
If I fall, I get up mean.
Dust on my jeans, fire in me.
[Pre-Chorus]
If it breaks, let it break.
I won't fold, I won't shake.
Fist full of dust, heart in the rain.
Say my name, I feel the pain.
[Chorus]
I fight this battle alone
I fight this battle alone
With my back to the bone
I fight this battle alone (alone)
[Bridge]
Still, I hear that wind call
Saying, son, stand tall
No hand here, just mine
And I’ll cross that line
[Final Chorus]
I fight this battle alone
I fight this battle alone
With my back to the bone
I fight this battle alone (alone)
