[Verse 1] Mud on my boots Ash on my sleeve Been counted out Too many times to believe Daddy left a dent Mama kept the flame I learned how to stand When they said my name [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer Watch me not fold Blood in the plow line Fire in the cold I took every cut Turned it to steel Now I raise my chin Yeah, I know what I feel [Chorus] I’m a chainlink gospel (Chainlink gospel) Hard luck, hard won But I still run I’m a chainlink gospel (Chainlink gospel) Black dirt to the sun Yeah, I still run [Verse 2] Gas tank near empty Hound on the porch Neon from a pawn shop Cuts through the cornstalks I got scars like maps Points to where I’ve been Every road I lost Brought me back again [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer Watch me not fold Blood in the plow line Fire in the cold I took every cut Turned it to steel Now I raise my chin Yeah, I know what I feel [Chorus] I’m a chainlink gospel (Chainlink gospel) Hard luck, hard won But I still run I’m a chainlink gospel (Chainlink gospel) Black dirt to the sun Yeah, I still run [Bridge] If the roof caves in I’ll hold up the frame If the floor drops out I’ll still speak my name Not born to be saved Born to stand tall I’m a hard-truth prayer And I don’t crawl [Final Chorus] I’m a chainlink gospel (Chainlink gospel) Hard luck, hard won But I still run I’m a chainlink gospel (Chainlink gospel) Black dirt to the sun Yeah, I still run (Still run) (Still run)
