Текст пісні
Started out as rust and hope,
Parked out back by a pile of oak
Frame was bent, paint was shot
Most folks said, "Boy, that ain't got a shot"
But I saw bones beneath the dust
Turned them wrenches, earned that trust
Every bolt, every scar
Built it up right, now it runs like a star
It's built not bought, blood not luck
Put in the time, didn't need no truckin' bucks
From a junkyard ghost to a streetlight king
Ain't nothin' sweeter than the pride I bring
No showroom shine, no dealer lot
She rolls on heart, 'cause she's built not bought
Late nights cuttin' metal clean
Oil-stained hands and busted jeans
Learned more wrenchin' than school ever taught
Earned every mile that this baby's got
People ask where I got her done
I just smile and say, "Every bolt, son"
This ain't a toy, she ain't for show
She's proof of work and grit that grows
It's built not bought, pain not gold
Risin' up strong from the parts I hold
From scrap to shine, from broke to bold
This ride's my story, loud and told
No showroom tag, no auction spot
She rides like a dream, 'cause she's built not bought
They don't sell pride down at the mall
You can't swipe sweat or buy it all
You build it slow, one cut, one fight
And roll it out in the dead of night
It's built not bought, real not fake
Born in the fire of every break
Ain't no shame in a polished ride
But I'll take the one I brought back to life
No badge, no brag, no showroom slot
Just a soul on wheels, and it's built not bought
Yeah, she's built not bought
And that's all I need a man to know
