Cut Loose!!

[Verse 1]
Grew up with hand-me-down boots and a busted coat
Mud on the tires, dreams heavy like a fishing boat
Grandpa woke me up before the sunrise hit
Taught me how to track deer by the prints in the grit
Grandma in the kitchen with the biscuits and grace
Bible open on the table, peace all over her face
Mama stretched dollars like they came made of elastic
Poverty was real, but the love? That was massive
We didn’t have much, but the Lord filled the gap
Country taught me strength — you can’t learn that on a map
Every storm, every struggle, every bruise
Made me who I am, now I finally cut loose

[Chorus]
Cut loose — break free from the weight I knew
Country roads raised me, taught me life stays true
We were broke, but my heart? Man, it still grew
Grandma prayed strong, Grandpa showed me what to do
Cut loose — from the pain that I once held tight
God lit my path when I ran outta light
Huntin’, fishin’, family kept my aim right
Country boy soul — still cut loose every fight

[Verse 2]
Castin’ lines in the river while the world spun fast
Learned patience every time a fish slipped past
Life’ll test your faith like a hook that bends
But family is the net that holds you in the end
Grandpa said, “Boy, don’t let pride blind your view,”
“You ain’t rich in your wallet, you’re rich in what you do.”
Grandma said, “Son, stay humble, keep God close,”
“A clean heart shines brighter than a diamond ever glows.”
I watched folks chase money and lose their soul
Stayed rooted in the dirt — that’s what kept me whole
No matter what the world tries to tear or reduce
I’m breaking every chain when I finally cut loose

[Chorus]
Cut loose — break free from the weight I knew
Country roads raised me, taught me life stays true
We were broke, but my heart? Man, it still grew
Grandma prayed strong, Grandpa showed me what to do
Cut loose — from the pain that I once held tight
God lit my path when I ran outta light
Huntin’, fishin’, family kept my aim right
Country boy soul — still cut loose every fight

[Verse 3]
Sunday mornings in a truck with the windows down
Hymns echo on the hills as we rolled through town
We were poor, but faith made the load feel light
God fought my battles when I couldn’t fight
Choppin’ wood, feedin’ dogs, takin’ care of land
Country taught me work — Bible taught me to stand
Lost some friends to the darkness, some drifted away
But I stayed on the path Grandma prayed I’d stay
Now I’m climbing out the struggle like a tree from a sprout
Every scar, every lesson helped me figure life out
Got the blood of survivors runnin’ through my roots
Now it’s time for this country soul to cut loose

[Chorus]
Cut loose — break free from the weight I knew
Country roads raised me, taught me life stays true
We were broke, but my heart? Man, it still grew
Grandma prayed strong, Grandpa showed me what to do
Cut loose — from the pain that I once held tight
God lit my path when I ran outta light
Huntin’, fishin’, family kept my aim right
Country boy soul — still cut loose every fight

[Bridge]
Cut loose from the fear, from the doubt, from the shame
Cut loose from the voices that forgot my name
Cut loose from the past tryin’ to pull me down
Cut loose — let the Lord lift me off the ground
Cut loose from the hurt I carried since youth
Cut loose — stand tall in the light of truth
Cut loose — every burden, every chain I choose
Country in my veins — and I’m born to cut loose

[Outro]
From the dirt road mornings
To the prayers at night
From the small-town struggle
To the battles I fight
I thank God for the lessons
And the family He gave
For a grandma that prayed
And a grandpa that stayed
Through the storms, through the trials
Through the tears I’ve shed
I keep my eyes on the cross
And I’ll rise where I’m led
This is my story, my truth, my roots
And every step forward is me learnin’ to cut loose
