Verse 1 Daddy’s boots by the back door Mama’s Bible on the shelf They say a girl should know her place And not go dreamin’ past herself But I been starin’ down that gravel road Since I was nine years old Hearin’ somethin’ in the wind Callin’ me to somewhere bold Pre-Chorus They say, “Baby slow your roll, Life ain’t meant to run.” But every mile they tell me not to chase Feels like one I’ve already won Their porch light tries to hold me Like a hand that won’t let go But my heart’s already halfway Down a road they’ll never know Chorus There’s no roof on the sky above me No fence on the dreams I claim If the world they built can’t hold me I’ll walk right past that frame I ain’t meant for quiet livin’ Or waitin’ my whole life in line There’s no roof on the sky above me And that climb is mine Verse 2 Mama says the world’s a hard place Girls like me get lost out there Daddy says this town’s enough And I got roots I oughta wear But roots can turn to chains sometimes If you never leave the ground And I got thunder in my brain Every time I hear that sound I've been hungry in the quiet Dreamin’ where nobody sees Every “no” they ever gave me Just grew stronger in the breeze They want peace inside these fences I want proof of who I’ll be Some roads only open up When you dare to leave the key Chorus There’s no roof on the sky above me No fence on the dreams I claim If the world they built can’t hold me I’ll walk right past that frame I ain’t meant for quiet livin’ Or waitin’ my whole life in line There’s no roof on the sky above me And that climb is mine Bridge Maybe they call it stubborn Maybe they call it wild But every mountain someone climbed Once scared a small-town child They say I’m chasin’ trouble Say the road’s too far to try But the girl I’m meant to grow into Is waitin’ past that sky Verse 3 So I lace up these old hand-me-downs Step out past the yard Carry every lesson Even if they made it hard I ain’t runnin’ from my family I’m just runnin’ toward my name And the horizon’s whisperin’ softly That I was born to change the game Final Chorus There’s no roof on the sky above me No line sayin’ where I stop If I see it on the horizon I’ll be standin’ on that top I’ll thank the town that raised me But I won’t live inside its lines There’s no roof on the sky above me And that dream is mine Outro This ain’t just a girl with big dreams.
