I grew up in a little town where the river bends
Friday night lights in my pickup truck, best of friends
Dust on my boots, a guitar by the fire
Simple dreams fueled by a young man's desire
We worked hard and played even harder
Sang our songs beneath the stars, not a care, not a bother
Cause we were born to rock, born to chase
Every wild heartbeat, every open space
With a six-pack and a worn-out brain
We made our own way, no matter where we go
In this life of dirt roads and restless skies
It's where my heart forever lies
I grew up in a little town where the river bends
Friday night lights in my pickup truck, best of friends
Dust on my boots, a guitar by the fire
Simple dreams fueled by a young man's desire
We worked hard and played even harder
Sang our songs beneath the stars, not a care, not a bother
Cause we were born to rock, born to chase
Every wild heartbeat, every open space
With a six-pack and a worn-out brain
We made our own way, no matter where we go
In this life of dirt roads and restless skies

It's where my heart forever lies
She was a summer blonde with a reckless smile
Made me wanna stay a little longer, just a while
Dancing barefoot in a cornfield haze
Sunset lovers with no promises to break
We stole moments, fought the clock
Held each other close on that old back dock
Cause we were born to rock, born to chase
We were born to rock, born to chase
Every wild heartbeat, every open space
With a six-pack and a worn-out brain
We made our own way, no matter where we go
In this life of dirt roads and restless skies
It's where my heart forever lies
It's where my heart forever lies
