[Verse 1] I got dust on the amp And red clay on my jeans Old pine on the floorboards Where the porch light leans Mama said sing it clean Daddy said sing it true I took both roads to town Now I’m bringing back the view [Pre-Chorus] Hear that pick in the dark Hear that whistle rise Where the hard road bends That’s where the old soul flies [Chorus] Rock, country rock Let it climb up high Soft rock, hard drop Make that lonely sky Rock, country rock Let it roll and soar When the frame gets rough We just sing it more [Verse 2] I know a back-road chapel And a bar by the grain Same three chords get pulled Through the dust and rain You can cut it with steel You can warm it with wood If the hurt runs deep Then the hook still should [Pre-Chorus] Hear that pick in the dark Hear that whistle rise Where the hard road bends That’s where the old soul flies [Chorus] Rock, country rock Let it climb up high Soft rock, hard drop Make that lonely sky Rock, country rock Let it roll and soar When the frame gets rough We just sing it more [Bridge] I don’t need gold trim I don’t need a throne Give me a road song And a voice of my own From the barn to the stage From the creek to the crowd If the heart stays bare Then it sings out loud [Final Chorus] Rock, country rock Let it climb up high Soft rock, hard drop Make that lonely sky Rock, country rock Let it roll and soar When the frame gets rough We just sing it more Rock, country rock Till the rafters shake Every scar, every mile Is a road we take
