[Verse 1] Dirt on my cuffs Sun on the gravel I came up hungry Learned to take the trouble Mama said stand tall When the whole world leans I wore my scars Like a set of jeans [Pre-Chorus] If the night wants a fight I don't turn and run I keep my chin up Till the dawn comes up [Chorus] I got fire in my blood (boots on blacktop) I got grit, I got love (boots on blacktop) Take that weight off my back I was born for the climb Boots on blacktop And I'm doing just fine [Verse 2] County line dust On a rusted hood Hard days hit me But they never took the good I know the sting Of a slammed-shut door Still I keep a place For one more round of more [Pre-Chorus] If the dark rolls in I'll light my own way I got a strong heart Built from the clay [Chorus] I got fire in my blood (boots on blacktop) I got grit, I got love (boots on blacktop) Take that weight off my back I was born for the climb Boots on blacktop And I'm doing just fine [Bridge] Let 'em talk rough Let 'em count me out I was made for the storm And I know what I'm about Fiddle cry low Then it swings like a blade I ain't broke by the world I'm the world I made [Chorus] I got fire in my blood (boots on blacktop) I got grit, I got love (boots on blacktop) Take that weight off my back I was born for the climb Boots on blacktop And I'm doing just fine
