Made From The Dirt

I was raised in Missouri where the hills shadow out the light Between the broke and the fix-it, there was leaving written in my eyes It wasn't hard, it wasn't easy Spreading my wings like shotgun BBs If you see me blazing trails instead of taking the highway Leaning into love even when it hurts I never fit the mold, so I did it my way I may be fighting, but I didn't swing first So, if I'm pushing to make room Shooting for the moon, putting in the work It's 'cause I was made from the dirt Came up from the ground Born to bloom when I get knocked down So, let the rounds keep coming like a summer thunder rolling in I could turn the other cheek, but I'd rather take it on the chin So, let it rain with the windows open Spaces are wide and I keep on growing If you see me blazing trails instead of taking the highway Leaning into love even when it hurts I never fit the mold, so I did it my way I may be fighting, but I didn't swing first So, if I'm pushing to make room Shooting for the moon, putting in the work It's 'cause I was made from the dirt Came up from the ground Born to bloom when I get knocked down I get knocked down If you see me blazing trails instead of taking the highway Leaning into love even when it hurts I never fit the mold, so I did it my way I may be fighting, but I didn't swing first So, if I'm pushing to make room Shooting for the moon, putting in the work It's 'cause I was made from the dirt Came up from the ground Born to bloom when I get knocked down I get knocked down It's 'cause I was made from the dirt Came up from the ground Born to bloom when I get knocked down
