[Verse 1] I was born where the red dirt burns With a hard row father and a hard luck name I learned to pray with my fists unclenched And sleep with a Bible in a liquor flame My boots got scars from a thousand runs My heart got chains from a reckless past But the Lord came down in a thunderclap When I hit that ditch and I thought I was done [Pre-Chorus] You can call me rough You can call me wild But I know who pulled me Out of the fire [Chorus] God, You know my name God, You know my scars I was dirt and smoke Now I'm standing on a promise God, You raised me up From a breaking place I was headed down Now I ride with grace (ride with grace) [Verse 2] There’s a blade on the table, a debt in the night And a devil still talks when the room goes still But I’ve seen mercy stare me dead in the eyes Like a white-hot dawn on a hardwood hill Mama said, son, don’t let anger drive Don’t trade your soul for a settling score So I laid that hate in the river mud And I let the flood wash through my door [Pre-Chorus] You can call me rough You can call me wild But I know who pulled me Out of the fire [Chorus] God, You know my name God, You know my scars I was dirt and smoke Now I'm standing on a promise God, You raised me up From a breaking place I was headed down Now I ride with grace (ride with grace) [Bridge] If I go down tomorrow Let it be with a name unbent Not for silver, not for glory But for the truth You sent Let the black sky shake Let the hard rain fall I was lost in the blood and the dust But You heard my call [Final Chorus] God, You know my name God, You know my scars I was dirt and smoke Now I'm standing on a promise God, You raised me up From a breaking place I was headed down Now I ride with grace God, You know my name God, You know my scars (ride with grace) I was dirt and smoke Now I'm standing on a promise
