Now it's bootstraps when you lose your job and your rent Because, man, it's about the Benjamins Clips for the block and the Glock on the nightstand In a land of the lawsuits, don't shoot It's a fact: you can't choose the truth They don't make it anymore like you A slow burn in the heat "How could you turn on me?" Never learned from the kerosene Pour it on and I know you'll see [Chorus] A title doesn't make a steady hand Or teach somebody where to stand Character keeps showing through Long after headlines lose their view That's the mark that lasts Oh, it's more than a badge [Verse 2] Oh, how it feels to be American Blood of the badland with gasoline on my hands A country boy just ain't the same in the city With no deer to hunt and no birds to hit me My girl told me, "Get out of your head" And "Baby, all your heroes are dead" And "Why are you in my bed?" It's nothing personal, it's just business Ain't it funny what the church forgets? How we got here and who let who in? And the flag flies high on the poles In a field of stones where my family goes And when it's my time, my soul's on sale Just hope they remember me well [Chorus] A title doesn't make a steady hand Or teach somebody where to stand Character keeps showing through Long after headlines lose their view That's the mark that lasts Oh, it's more than a badge [Bridge] From the ashes to the floor An eye for an eye This badge doesn't make me who I am And a title doesn't make a steady hand [Outro] A title doesn't make a steady hand Or teach somebody where to stand Character keeps showing through Long after headlines lose their view That's the mark that lasts Oh, it's more than a badge 🔥 FOLLOW BEN OUTLAW Subscribe for more original outlaw country, country rap, Southern rock, Americana, Western-inspired music, and gritty stories from the road.
