I Ain't Changin'

I grew up on the seat of a John Deere tractor bailing hay
Now I'm standing in the middle of a high rise city on a subway train
I'm sure jaws are dropping, small town talking
Let 'em talk away, I don't care, I don't care

I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
I'm still the son of the bitch, back in them good old days
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
I ain't changing a letter of my last name
The way I talk or the way I pray
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fading
I ain't changing, I ain't changing

I'm still make some racket, leather jacket, hometown proud
I'm still say the blessing, learn your lesson, watch your mouth
I packed all that up in the bed of my truck when I hit the road
No matter where I go, no matter where I go

I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
I'm still the son of the bitch, back in them good old days
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
I ain't changing a letter of my last name
The way I talk or the way I pray
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fading
I ain't changing

I like my tough love, red blood rebel heart that beats
Like the words in those old hymns that we used to sing
I ain't changing

I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
I'm still the son of the bitch, back in them good old days
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
I ain't changing a letter of my last name
The way I talk or the way I pray
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fading
I ain't changing, I ain't changing
