I grew up on the seat of a John Deere tractor bailin' hay
Now I'm standin' in the middle of a high-rise city on a subway train
I'm sure jaws are droppin', small town talkin', let 'em talk away
I don't care, I don't care
I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
I'm still the son of the dirt I run back in them good old days
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
I ain't changin' a letter of my last name
The way I talk or the way I pray
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fadin'
I ain't changin', I ain't changin'
I'm still make some racket, leather jacket, hometown proud
I'm still say the blessin', learn your lesson, watch your mouth
I packed all that up in the bed of my truck when I hit the road
No matter where I go, no matter where I go
I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
I'm still the son of the dirt I run back in them good old days
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
I ain't changin' a letter of my last name
The way I talk or the way I pray
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fadin'
I ain't changin'
♪
I like my tough love, red blood rebel heart that beats
Like the words in those old hymns, we used to sing
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh)
I ain't changin' (whoa-oh-oh, oh)
I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
I'm still the son of the dirt I run back in them good old days
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
I ain't changin' a letter of my last name
The way I talk or the way I pray
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fadin'
I ain't changin', I ain't changin'
