Backroad Bones and Diesel Dreams

Raised on the miles where the blacktop ends

Where the creek bends, and the hard work never bends

I talk with my hands more than I talk with my mouth

Hear the thunder from these boots beating you down South

Truth’s in the bruises and in the stains

Humble and stubborn run deep in my veins

I'm a wild-eyed rebel with the scars to show

Took my chances where the wild weeds grow

Got a mind for trouble and a heart that believes

In these backroad bones and diesel dreams

Just a hard-workin’ country boy, that's all I'll ever be

Mama taught me faith, Daddy taught me fight

I chase big stars underneath small-town lights

Feel the burn of the sun, and the sting of the wind

‘Round here a man's word counts more than his skin

Truth’s in the bruises and in the stains

Humble and stubborn run deep in my veins

I'm a wild-eyed rebel with the scars to show

Took my chances where the wild weeds grow

Got a mind for trouble and a heart that believes

In these backroad bones and diesel dreams

Just a hard-workin’ country boy, that's all I'll ever be

Muddy water runs straight through my blood

Ain’t got much, but I’ve got enough

Rollin’ with the thunder and chasin’ what I need

Down this long and winding string of memories

I'm a wild-eyed rebel with the scars to show

Took my chances where the wild weeds grow

Got a mind for trouble and a heart that believes

In these backroad bones and diesel dreams

Just a hard-workin’ country boy, that's all I'll ever beSo raise a glass to the dirt on my sleeve

Backroads and diesel—that’s all I’ll ever need
