Intro Yeah Vegas in my rearview Red dirt in my chest Funny how the hard roads Still can lead you somewhere blessed I came up under neon Now I’m ridin’ toward the gold With a dream turned into duty And some Sooners on my soul Verse 1 I remember them nights when the lights stayed loud When the future felt far and the noise hung proud Back when I was just a kid with some tape on his wrists Tryna run toward a life bigger than all of this Bishop Gorman in my blood, Vegas in my frame All the heat, all the hunger, all the fight in my name Every bruise, every rep, every doubt, every scar Built the boy that could reach this far And now I stand on the edge of a brand-new weight Not the dream of a kid, but the choice of a man I made That’s a different kind of heavy, that’s a different kind of fire When the road you used to pray for start demandin’ somethin’ higher I ain’t chasin’ hype now I ain’t runnin’ blind I got somethin’ sacred sittin’ steady in my mind And for the first time in a long damn while The future don’t feel borrowed It feel like mine Pre-Chorus Yeah, Vegas made me hungry And Norman made it clear Some places raise your toughness Some places call your spirit near Now the smoke done settled And the truth done showed I got where I came from in my blood And Sooners on my soul Chorus Sooners on my soul Vegas in my veins Fire in my chest And thunder in my name I came from the bright lights But I chose that crimson road Now I carry where I’m from And some Sooners on my soul Sooners on my soul Heavy, deep, and real Not just somethin’ I dreamed But somethin’ I can feel From them Saturday prayers To the nights that made me cold I got sin-city scars And some Sooners on my soul Verse 2 And Ashley still moves through my mind sometimes Like a porch-light memory on an Oklahoma night She made that town feel softer, made that season breathe Made the weight of all that future sit a little easier on me I still hear them talks we had in the quiet air Still feel how one weekend changed the shape of everywhere But love ain’t what chose it Nah, truth wore the crown Still, she’ll always be part of how that place went down And the ghosts in the walls still echo in my head Them old names, them old standards, all the things they said Without sayin’ a word, just leanin’ on my chest Like “Boy, if you wear this right, give this game your best” So I’m ridin’ toward tomorrow with my jaw set firm Knowin’ every big choice got a price you earn And I’m cool with that pressure Hell, I welcome the load ‘Cause some burdens ain’t burdens They’re the proof that you’ve grown Pre-Chorus Yeah, Vegas made me fearless And Norman made me sure Some roads just look pretty Some roads make a man endure Now the smoke done settled And the truth done showed I got where I came from in my blood And Sooners on my soul Chorus Sooners on my soul Vegas in my veins Fire in my chest And thunder in my name I came from the bright lights But I chose that crimson road Now I carry where I’m from And some Sooners on my soul Sooners on my soul Heavy, deep, and real Not just somethin’ I dreamed But somethin’ I can feel From them Saturday prayers To the nights that made me cold I got sin-city scars And some Sooners on my soul Bridge This ain’t the end Nah, this the gate This what it sound like when a young life shifts shape From dreamin’ in the dark To livin’ what you know From runnin’ toward a name To carryin’ that load So let the lights fade Let the noise get old I done found somethin’ deeper than the shine they sold And if they ask me what I took from the fire I chose I’ma tell ‘em: a hard-earned name And some Sooners on my soul Breakdown Yeah From Vegas nights To Oklahoma skies From young-boy dreams To a man’s reply From stars on a chest To a standard to hold I got the future in my hands And some Sooners on my soul Final Chorus Sooners on my soul Vegas in my veins Fire in my chest And thunder in my name I came from the bright lights But I chose that crimson road Now I carry where I’m from And some Sooners on my soul Sooners on my soul Heavy, deep, and real Not just somethin’ I dreamed But somethin’ I can feel From them Saturday prayers To the nights that made me cold I got sin-city scars And some Sooners on my soul Outro Yeah Five-star nobody From Sin City roads Now the boy got a future And some Sooners on his soul This ain’t where it ended This just where it rolled From neon to legacy With some Sooners on my soul
