[Intro] (soft slide guitar) [Verse 1] I woke up where the dust meets the sky Boots on gravel, no reason why No chains on me, no map to read Just the wind and what I need Got a fire that don’t ask for names Don’t belong to flags or flames But I kiss the ground beneath my feet Every mile feels like home to me [Verse 2] I’ve seen rivers cut through stone Heard the silence in the unknown From the mountains down to the sea Every road keeps calling me They can talk, they can try to bind Put their rules inside my mind But I was born where the wild things run Underneath the same old sun [Chorus] Ain’t nothing gonna hold my road Ain’t no hand that can take my soul This freedom runs in my blood and bones Like a river no dam can own I ride where the light still grows Through the dust and the broken roads This life is mine, I made that call And I won’t let nobody take it all [Verse 3] I don’t fight for a crown or throne Just the right to stand alone Hear my country in the breeze In the rustling of the trees There’s a beauty they can’t control In every crack, in every soul And I’d die before I’d trade This wild heart I was made [Bridge] (Instrumental – expressive slide guitar, emotional peak) [Soft vocal adlibs] Mmm… let it roll now… Oh… don’t you cage me… [Final Chorus] Ain’t nothing gonna hold my road Ain’t no hand that can take my soul This freedom burns like a rising flame And I’d do it all the same I ride where the sky runs wide Got the whole damn world inside This life is mine, I stand up tall And I won’t let nobody take it all [Outro] (solo slide guitar, slower, fading) No… nobody at all…
