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 'stead 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 'stead 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 'stead 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
