[Verse 1] Red dirt on my space-age boots Chrome horse in the driveway hums AI voice on the dash say “who?” I say “baby, that’s the one I love” You were there when the well ran dry Hand on my back when the bills piled high From the porch light glow to the satellite sky Every time I fall, you ride [Pre-Chorus] When the world gets heavy Feels like it might cave in You pull me steady Breathe me back again Half-speed heartbeat Slow-motion halo I’m breaking at the seams You stitch me with your shadow (yeah) [Chorus] You’re my steel-toed halo, hold me down and lift me high Boots in the mud, head in the sky When the storm rolls in and I can’t see You’re the future and the farmhouse, always there for me You’re my steel-toed halo, every mile, every mile (every mile) Ride or die, you stay, country strong and wild When I lose my way, you don’t let go You’re my always, you’re my home, my steel-toed halo [Verse 2] Ten missed calls on a dead-end day You pull up, dust flying, “you okay?” Throw my tears in the truck ashtray Say “cry it out, we gon’ find our way” Got that drawl, got that coded flow Bible on the dash, neon on the road Heaven in your laugh, trouble in your eyes But you never let my hope run dry (nah) [Pre-Chorus] When the world gets heavy Feels like it might cave in You pull me steady Breathe me back again Half-speed heartbeat Slow-motion halo I’m breaking at the seams You stitch me with your shadow (oh) [Chorus] You’re my steel-toed halo, hold me down and lift me high Boots in the mud, head in the sky When the storm rolls in and I can’t see You’re the future and the farmhouse, always there for me You’re my steel-toed halo, every mile, every mile (every mile) Ride or die, you stay, country strong and wild When I lose my way, you don’t let go You’re my always, you’re my home, my steel-toed halo [Bridge] From the backroads to the big screen dreams (hey!) You the one that stayed in the in-between When I glitch, when I slip, when I split at the seams You say “baby, we a team, we a team” Through the grime, through the shine, through the late-night fights You’re the constant in my scrambled life If the whole world quits on me You’re still in that front seat, singing off-key (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] You’re my steel-toed halo, hold me down and lift me high Boots in the mud, head in the sky When the storm rolls in and I can’t see You’re the future and the farmhouse, always there for me You’re my steel-toed halo, every mile, every mile (every mile) Ride or die, you stay, country strong and wild When I lose my way, you don’t let go You’re my always, you’re my home, my steel-toed halo
