[Verse 1]
I came up where the wind cuts raw
Wyoming dust on a cracked truck door
Then I learned two more ways to burn
Colorado roads and Texas dirt
I got a little of each in me
Cold front grit and a hot-blood streak
Try to box me in, you’ll see
I don’t stay put, I don’t bend easy
[Pre-Chorus]
You can hear it in my name
Hear it in my boots
I’ve been three kinds of wild
And I wore them all through
[Chorus]
Wyoming made me hard
Colorado kept me sharp
Texas taught me how to stand
When the whole world falls apart
Wyoming made me hard
Colorado kept me sharp
Texas taught me how to stand
I’m three states deep at heart
[Verse 2]
Snow on the fence and oil on my hands
Red rock roads and old gas cans
I’ve been the new kid, I’ve been the one
With a crooked grin and a loaded tongue
Every town left a mark on me
Barbed-wire truths and a restless beat
I don’t need much, just a floor and a flame
A loud guitar and my own last name
[Pre-Chorus]
You can hear it in my name
Hear it in my boots
I’ve been three kinds of wild
And I wore them all through
[Chorus]
Wyoming made me hard
Colorado kept me sharp
Texas taught me how to stand
When the whole world falls apart
Wyoming made me hard
Colorado kept me sharp
Texas taught me how to stand
I’m three states deep at heart
[Bridge]
If you want me, come real
Come cracked, come true
I’ve been built by the miles
And the things I lived through
From the high cold air
To the heat-soaked ground
I carry all my past
Like a thunder sound
[Final Chorus]
Wyoming made me hard
Colorado kept me sharp
Texas taught me how to stand
When the whole world falls apart
Wyoming made me hard
Colorado kept me sharp
Texas taught me how to stand
I’m three states deep at heart
[Outro]
Three states deep
That’s where I bleed
Three states deep
That’s the man in me
