Doin' What He Gotta Do

[Intro]
Yeah, he’s been through the fire and back, but he’s still standin’ tall
A true grit story, yeah, he’s seen it all

[Verse 1]
Started off with a dream under bright stadium lights
A football star in the makin’, hopes takin’ flight
But life tossed a curve, a twist in the game
Plans laid out by the Lord, he knew his name

[Pre-Chorus]
Fought with muscle and heart, stood his ground fierce and true
Every stumble and fall, just made him break on through

[Chorus]
He’s a fighter, a survivor, a man carved from stone
Been bent but not broken, he’s still on his throne
From the love lost echoes to the dirt on his hands
He’s doin’ his damndest, a real southern man

[Verse 2]
Work at the dawn, toil through the night
Dreams of love’s sweet song, lost in the fight
A little broken but never out of the race
He’s got that outlaw spirit, no one can take his place

[Pre-Chorus]
Fought with muscle and heart, stood his ground fierce and true
Every stumble and fall, just made him break on through

[Chorus]
He’s a fighter, a survivor, a man carved from stone
Been bent but not broken, he’s still on his throne
From the love lost echoes to the dirt on his hands
He’s doin’ his damndest, a real southern man

[Bridge]
No matter what comes, he rises again
Ain’t no heartbreak gonna break his stance
Lord’s got a plan, he’s trustin’ that fold
A warrior's spirit, brave and bold

[Outro]
Yeah, he’s carryin’ his weight, with a spirit so free
A kid turned man, that’s all he’ll ever be
Fighting every battle, with a heart that’s true
Outlaw soul, he’s just doin’ what he gotta do

Outlaw country, driven guitar, deep vocals, folk-inspired instrumentation, Aggressive drums
