Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots hit dirt like a wrecking ball
Dust jumps up every time I crawl
Got a mile-long shadow on this red clay road
Heart like a freight train ready to blow
[Chorus]
Heavy step
Mammoth’s thunder
Every stomp shakes the ground I’m under
Feel that roar roll through my chest
I was born to walk like this
Heavy step
Mammoth’s thunder
[Verse 2]
Black coat flappin’ in the high heat wind
Old belt buckle with the scars of sin
Grin full of trouble
Eyes say “try me”
Each slow stride’s a small stampede
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] One by one
All these fences fall
Every footprint
Another warning call
[growled ad-libs] Keep your nerve
Keep your nerve
When you hear that curve of earth… crack
[Chorus]
Boots hit dirt like a wrecking ball
Dust jumps up every time I crawl
Got a mile-long shadow on this red clay road
Heart like a freight train ready to blow
[Chorus]
Heavy step
Mammoth’s thunder
Every stomp shakes the ground I’m under
Feel that roar roll through my chest
I was born to walk like this
Heavy step
Mammoth’s thunder
[Verse 2]
Black coat flappin’ in the high heat wind
Old belt buckle with the scars of sin
Grin full of trouble
Eyes say “try me”
Each slow stride’s a small stampede
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] One by one
All these fences fall
Every footprint
Another warning call
[growled ad-libs] Keep your nerve
Keep your nerve
When you hear that curve of earth… crack
[Chorus]
Style of Music
rock, Thick country-rock stomp with driving live kit, big floor toms, and crunchy overdriven electric guitars locked to a swaggering bassline. Male vocals, low and gritty in the verses, explode into a stadium-sized chorus with stacked gang shouts. Slide guitar licks and bent notes answer vocal phrases; bridge drops to half-time with distant reverb, then slams back in full speed for the final hook., country
