[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

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]

[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

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
