Текст пісні
They left me, but I ain't never left me Country roots, modern grind, watch me
Small-time paycheck, big-time pain Gas in the lungs, thunder in the veins
Kept my head down, boots in the mud Counted every note till it turned to a flood
Front porch, gossip, back road lies I learned to tune them out and let my work baptize
Bookie in the seat, ten toes, no help I can do bad by my damn self
I can do bad by my damn self Didn't ask for your crown or help
From the red clay road to a stack on the shelf I'm thinking money, peace, and hell
I can do bad by my damn self But I chose to build it right
If I'm alone at dawn, I'm good by night I've been broke, I've been ghosted
Turned scars into the blueprint posted Tic-tac bass with a pocket so mean
Count blessings on ones like a slot machine I forged my name in a midnight shop
Hammer met steel and the sparks don't stop Loyalty's rare, I'll ride by myself
I can do bad by my damn self No more begging, no more waiting
I plant seeds while they hatin
I can do bad by my damn self Didn't ask for your crown or help
From the red clay road to a stack on the shelf I'm thinking money, nothing else
I can do bad by my damn self But now I'm doing fine
Pockets on this hard line If you see me solo, don't assume I'm alone
It took losing everybody for me to find home Old soul rhythm with a modern throat
Truth in the bars, open the note Turn that boom chicka up, let it run like a rail
I feel forward fast and I cash on the trail From beech tree hill to the city glow
I'm the proof that a seed in the dark can grow Hands on the wheel, ten rings from the bell
I can do bad by my damn self I can do bad by my damn self
Didn't ask for your crown or help From gravel and doubt to a life I felt
I'm thinking money, peace, and hell I can do bad by my damn self
But here's the truth I tell I did it alone so I could love you well
Country is truth and my truth pays the bills Country is truth and my truth pays the bills
Country is truth and my truth pays the bills Country is truth and my truth pays the bills
