Lyrics:

                                                  
VERSE ONE
Rutted roads and backwood trails
Baked in clay and mud 
Heartland harsh as beautiful 
Toll is sweat and blood 
Tough country for a tender hand 
Life by a thousand cuts 
Blistered, calloused, tested 
In the flames of a flyover sun 
 
CHORUS
And you’re tempered in that fire
Shaped by water, wind and earth
Hammered down until you find out
What your mettle’s really worth
It’s a trail blazed with persistence
That’s the mold where I was poured
Hard times pass, tough people last
You’re either broken or you’re forged
 
VERSE TWO 
Strongest steel braves the hottest fire 
Only way out is through 
Every scar’s a lesson 
Story in every bruise 
Nothin gets polished without friction
Need the rough to make things smooth
Pain don’t last forever 
Quittin’s the only way to lose 
 
CHORUS
