[Verse 1] I was born where the highway curves, Where the dogs don’t bark, and the law observes. Mama taught me Bible, Daddy taught me guns, But I chose the road — where the wild don’t run. No diploma hangin’, just a scar or two, Learned more in a brawl than I ever did in school. I walk fast, talk low, think twice, lie once, Live lean, fight mean, and never trust a front. [Chorus] 🎵 I'm a country boy rebel, got no home base, 🎵 Two steps ahead in a one-horse race. 🎵 Sleep in barns or burned-out sheds, 🎵 Keep my heart light and my fists fed. 🎵 God gave me grit and a hellhound stare — 🎵 If you don’t fight for yourself, ain’t no one there. 🎵 It’s rise up or roll over, bleed or survive, 🎵 Ain’t no rules, just the code I ride. [Verse 2] Short on love, long on land, Chase the wind with a five-day plan. Drop in fast, get the cash and split, They don’t know my name — just the dust I kick. Got a knife in the boot and a smirk on my face, Seen more truth in a gas station grace Than a preacher’s words or a judge’s gavel — I’m the outlaw ghost on a backroad travel. [Chorus] 🎵 I'm a country boy rebel, got no home base, 🎵 Two steps ahead in a one-horse race. 🎵 Sleep in barns or burned-out sheds, 🎵 Keep my heart light and my fists fed. 🎵 God gave me grit and a hellhound stare — 🎵 If you don’t fight for yourself, ain’t no one there. 🎵 It’s rise up or roll over, bleed or survive, 🎵 Ain’t no rules, just the code I ride. [Bridge – Spoken over stripped-down guitar strum] You want mercy? Buy a prayerbook. You want peace? Earn your lookout. Me? I ain’t waitin’ for no savior on a horse. I am the horse. [Final Chorus – Louder, harmonica wail, layered backing vocals] 🎵 I'm a country boy rebel, smoke in my wake, 🎵 Gas tank low but I still won’t break. 🎵 I ain’t lost — I just roam with pride, 🎵 A lone star burnin’ in the countryside. 🎵 If I die tonight, bury me wide, 🎵 On outlaw land where wolves still ride. 🎵 It’s rise up or roll over, bleed or survive, 🎵 Ain’t no rules, just the code I ride.
