Not Today

Verse 1
We all die one day—but not today,
Sun comes up, I bow and pray,
Dust on boots, fire in veins,
Built for hard roads, built for pain

Pre-Chorus
Ain’t no quit runnin’ through my blood,
Knocked down hard—but I get back up

Chorus (chantable)
We all die—but not today,
Thank the Lord, I make my way,
Wolves don’t ask—they take what’s earned,
Stand up strong—let the doubters burn

Verse 2
Grateful for the air I breathe,
Every scar’s a part of me,
One more mile, no slowin’ down,
Never needed no king or crown

Pre-Chorus
They can talk, they can doubt all day,
I just grin and walk my way

Chorus (repeat)
We all die—but not today,
Thank the Lord, I make my way,
Wolves don’t ask—they take what’s earned,
Stand up strong—let the doubters burn

Bridge (half-time)
They’ll try to break you, drag your name,
Throw their dirt, throw their shame,
Pressure builds—steel will turn,
Hold your line… let it burn

Final Chorus (bigger)
We all die—but not today,
Thank the Lord, I’m on my way,
Wolves don’t ask—they take what’s earned,
Stand up tall—watch ‘em burn

Old folk country, raw acoustic, steady stomp, dusty vocals, simple chords, backroad grit, front porch soul feel raw
