[Intro]
Yeah… steel strings cryin’ under a midnight sky,
Small town heartbeat, never asks why…

[Verse 1]
I grew up where the gravel meets the wind,
Rust on the gate but the faith won’t bend,
Daddy said, “Son, let the hard days teach,”
Mama sang hope just outta reach.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile’s a prayer I never wrote,
Every scar’s a line in a country note…

[Chorus]
I got dust on my boots, stars in my veins,
Chasin’ down freedom through the backroad lanes,
Ain’t got much but a name and a flame,
And a heart that won’t ever be tamed,
Yeah I fall, but I rise just the same,
With dust on my boots, stars in my veins…

[Verse 2]
Pickup hummin’ like an old church hymn,
Radio playin’ where I’ve been,
Lost a love at a county line,
But found my soul in a simple rhyme.

[Bridge]
If the night gets cold and the road runs dry,
I’ll light my way with a rebel sky…

[Chorus]
I got dust on my boots, stars in my veins…

[Outro]
So let the wind remember my name,
I was born for the road, not the fame…
Yeah… just dust… and stars… and flames…
