Work Boots and Walnut

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wake up with the sun On a tin-roof morning Coffee in a dented cup And a fence line calling My boots know the dust My hands know the leather I was born to work hard And I fit it like a glove [Pre-Chorus] My daddy said, son Stand your ground Keep your word And plant it down [Chorus] I’m a country man Born for the land (Yeah, I’m a country man) Hard work in my hands I’m a country man I’ll take a stand (That’s right, I’m a country man) From the fields to the stand [Verse 2] I’ve hauled hay in July And split oak in winter Fixed a broken gate With a hammer and a prayer I don’t need much Just a truck and a back road A good woman’s smile And a sky full of stars [Pre-Chorus] My daddy said, son Stand your ground Keep your word And plant it down [Chorus] I’m a country man Born for the land (Yeah, I’m a country man) Hard work in my hands I’m a country man I’ll take a stand (That’s right, I’m a country man) From the fields to the stand [Bridge] If the road gets rough I won’t back away I was raised on grit And I’m built that way With a little red dirt On my Sunday jeans I still know who I am And what that means [Chorus] I’m a country man Born for the land (Yeah, I’m a country man) Hard work in my hands I’m a country man I’ll take a stand (That’s right, I’m a country man) From the fields to the stand
