[Intro / Hook]
These just minutes of my life, caught in flashin’ little frames,
From the dirt, to the steel, to the thunder in my veins.
Gulf Coast cowboy, yeah I play it how it lies,
Every picture just a moment where I stared life in the eyes.
[Verse 1]
Night shift sparks with the refinery glow,
Steel towers burnin’, yeah that’s all I know.
Truck hooked up, tank full, wheels hummin’ on the road,
Monster drinks, long miles, heavy heart, heavy load.
Bad weather stormin’, hail stones in my hand,
Heaven throws fists, but I still stand.
Gun smoke days, desert sky wide,
Lived a few lives, and I’m still in my prime.
[Hook]
These just minutes of my life, caught in frames that never lie,
From the grit to the grind to the tears I never cry.
Gulf Coast cowboy, I ain’t here to play pretend,
Every shot a story, every chapter never ends.
[Verse 2]
Field rows high, corn whisper in the breeze,
Farmer hands strong, dirt sunk in my jeans.
CAT tracks rollin’, sunrise hittin’ gold,
Strength ain’t somethin’ I learned, it’s somethin’ I hold.
Horses in the sand like freedom on legs,
Life ain’t polished, it’s scars and dings and dregs.
Ocean blues calm with a bird on the rail,
Even storm-chasin’ hearts sometimes need to exhale.
[Verse 3 – fast flow]
Flatbed truck, big life, no fear,
Laughin’ through the chaos year after year.
Smoke out the lips, steel in my hand,
Built from trouble, sweat, and land.
In the hole at work, yeah I’m grindin’ still,
Even underground I’m climbin’ uphill.
Wild soul wanderer, stubborn and true,
Every picture sayin’ “Yeah… this is what I do.”
[Final Hook / Outro]
These just minutes of my life, but they louder than a crown,
Every second that I lived, I refused to tone it down.
Gulf Coast cowboy, storms don’t scare me,
I don’t just breathe life… I dare it to dare me.
