Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I tried to tell ya, you laughed it off
Said I was all grit and no get-out
But I been the same since that dirt road south
Dust on my boots and a fire in my mouth
My old truck coughs, but it still runs right
Two hands steady on a long hard night
If I say I’m in, then I’m all the way
That’s a promise made the country way
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t bend for the crowd
I don’t fold when it gets loud
If you want the real thing, baby
Come a little closer now
[Chorus]
Tried to tell ya, I was built for this
Take it how it is
Hold my word, hold my ground
I’m still here, still standin’ now
Tried to tell ya, You can hear it in my sound
[Verse 2]
I got scarred hands from a broke-down life
Couple hard lessons and a one-way drive
When the road goes rough, I don’t hit the brakes
I lean right in till the whole thing shakes
Mama said, “Boy, keep your name clean”
So I keep it sharp like a pocket knife
Ain’t no silver spoon, ain’t no easy lane
Just a little blood, sweat, and a lotta rain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t bend for the crowd
I don’t fold when it gets loud
If you want the real thing, baby
Come a little closer now
[Chorus]
Tried to tell ya, I was built for this
Take it how it is
Hold my word, hold my ground
I’m still here, still standin’ now
Tried to tell ya, You can hear it in my sound
[Bridge]
You can throw your doubt at me
Watch it break like glass
I’m the same hard line I was
And I’m built to last
[Final Chorus]
Tried to tell ya, I was built for this
Take it how it is
Hold my word, hold my ground
I’m still here, still standin’ now
You can hear it in my sound
Tried to tell ya, Yeah, I’m built for this
