DUST OFF THE SADDLE [VERSE 1] Pulled the ring off Tuesday morning Left it on the kitchen sink Didn't cry, just kept on moving Didn't have the time to think Packed a bag with what I needed Left the rest to gather dust Walked out to that old barn weathered Found my boots, found my guts [PRE-CHORUS] Something woke up in my chest Something wild I thought I'd lost [CHORUS] I dust off the saddle Kick the devil in the teeth Eight seconds of fire That's my victory speech Don't need his name or his reasons why Don't need permission to fly I dust off the saddle tonight [VERSE 2] Mama said I'd lose my mind here On this ranch alone with ghosts But I'm fixing barbed wire fences Healing up what hurt the most There's a radio in the tractor Playing songs I used to know Every mile of County Road 12 Feels like I'm coming home [PRE-CHORUS] Something woke up in my bones Something bright, something gold [CHORUS] I dust off the saddle Kick the devil in the teeth Eight seconds of fire That's my victory speech Don't need his name or his reasons why Don't need permission to fly I dust off the saddle tonight [BRIDGE] Let 'em talk in town Let 'em wonder how I went from breaking down To breaking through right now [FINAL CHORUS] I dust off the saddle Kick the devil in the teeth Eight seconds of fire That's my victory speech Don't need his name or his reasons why Don't need permission to rise I dust off the saddle Yeah, I dust off the saddle I dust off the saddle tonight
