LYRICS

Verse 1
Born where the pine smoke rolls,
Where the Bible talks and the whiskey knows.
Mama said, boy, you’re bound to fall,
Devil just grinned from the church house wall.
Chased them lights, chased that sin,
Lost my soul in a bottle of gin.
Ain’t no gold in the city glow—
Just a long dark road you don’t wanna know.

Verse 2
Split my knuckles on a pool hall door,
Pockets broke, still beggin’ for more.
Sold my truck for a shot and a fight,
Slept in the ditch ‘til the crack of light.
Every bridge I had, I burned,
Every truth I told, I turned.
Woke up mean, cold, and used,
Another fool with the blues.

Chorus
I got gravel under my boots,
Mud in my blood, can’t shake it loose.
Beat down, busted, black ‘n blue,
But I’m tougher than I knew.
Every mile, I drop my chains,
Spit out the dust, bleed out the pain.
Ain’t the same wild fool you knew—
I’m walkin’ my way back to the truth.

Verse 3
Had a girl with eyes like smoke,
Loved me deep ‘til the trust got broke.
I traded her light for a darker lane,
Baptized my heart in gasoline rain.
Been to hell, and I shook his hand,
Signed my name in that red dirt sand.
But storms blow out, skies turn blue,
And even the worst can stumble through.

Bridge

Seen the wrong side of the cell,
Smelled that midnight burnin’ hell.
Preacher told me, low and slow,
Son, you’re still here, so you still can go.
Now I wear that grace like steel,
Keeps the past off my heels.
Ain’t scared of the road ahead,
‘Cause the worst of me’s already dead.

Chorus
Yeah, I got gravel under my boots,
Mud in my blood, can’t shake it loose.
Beat down, busted, black ‘n blue,
But I’m tougher than I knew.
Every mile, I drop my chains,
Spit out the dust, bleed out the pain.
Ain’t the same wild fool you knew—
I’m walkin’ my way back to the truth.
