Country Enough to Know Better

Описание: Country Enough to Know Better


[Intro – Spoken, over acoustic guitar]

Yeah…
Out here, where the dust lives longer than most memories,
where a man learns his lessons from broken fences
and sunburned mornings…
We grow stubborn before we grow old.
And I guess that’s where my story begins.

⸻

[Verse 1]

Woke up with the sunrise crawling across my boots,
Coffee on the stove, heart heavy with truth.
Life ain’t easy, but I learned from every scar,
Every long dirt road, every lonely bar.

They say a man should know better when he’s been burned,
But out here in the country, that’s how we learn.
And I’ve walked through fire just to find my way,
But I still chase the storms like they’re calling my name.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama told me, “Son, don’t be so hardheaded,”
But I was born wild—guess I just never shed it.
Every choice I made, right or wrong someday,
Built the man I am today.

⸻

[Chorus]

’Cause I’m country enough to know better,
But stubborn enough to do it anyway.
I’ll ride through the weather, chase the thunder,
Break my heart and fix it the same day.
Life’s a long road full of lessons I keep repeating—
Yeah, I know better… but I do it anyway.

⸻

[Verse 2]

I loved a girl once with a fire in her eyes,
Thought we’d build a life under those big blue skies.
But I pushed too hard, she drifted away,
Another thing I knew better, but I messed up anyway.

I worked this land ’til my knuckles turned stone,
Carried dreams in my pocket like they weighed a ton.
Lost some friends, lost myself, found my soul again,
Learned the hardest lessons standing in the wind.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

My old man said, “Son, pride’s a heavy chain,”
But I carried it around like I couldn’t feel the pain.
Now I know better, but I still don’t change,
Guess some roots grow too deep in our veins.

⸻

[Chorus]

’Cause I’m country enough to know better,
But stubborn enough to do it anyway.
I’ll ride through the weather, chase the thunder,
Break my heart and fix it the same day.
Life’s a long road full of lessons I keep repeating—
Yeah, I know better… but I do it anyway.

⸻

[Bridge – Long, emotional]

Maybe someday I’ll slow down,
Lay my pride on the ground,
Stop running toward the same mistakes.
But tonight, the moon is high,
And this restless heart won’t lie—
I still walk the path I know will ache.

And if trouble’s waiting out there,
then trouble’s just another friend,
’Cause men like me don’t back down—
We just start again.

⸻

[Instrumental Break – 2 minutes]

Steel guitar solo, harmonica echoes, deep drums, slow build.
Sounds like a dusty wind blowing across empty fields.

⸻

[Verse 3]

I’ve seen the rivers rise, seen the mountains fall,
But nothing shakes me like my own flaws.
The world keeps spinning, but I stay the same—
Trying to fix what I break, while I break it again.

Out here we live by stories carved in time,
Not written in books—just in the back of our minds.
Every sunrise gives another chance to change,
But I just tip my hat and ride again.

⸻

[Chorus] – Big and Powerful

’Cause I’m country enough to know better,
But stubborn enough to do it anyway.
I’ll ride through the shadows, fight my battles,
Hold my ground no matter what they say.
Life’s a long ride full of lessons I keep repeating—
Yeah, I know better… but I do it anyway.

⸻

[Outro – Spoken]

Maybe it ain’t smart…
Maybe it ain’t clean…
But it’s honest.
And out here in the country, that’s enough.

I’m country enough to know better…
But stubborn enough to do it anyway.

Guitar fades.
Wind fades.
