LYRICS:

Verse 1

I was born where the bluegrass grows,

Neon lights and dusty roads,

Singing my heart out in a smoky bar,

Dreamin’ big but staying who we are.

One night a man in a suit came through,

Said, “Girl, the world’s been waitin’ for you.”

He laid down papers, promises, gold,

But I felt the weight of chains unfold.

Chorus

I don’t need a stage in New York City,

Or a spotlight burning out my soul.

I’ll take the love of a small-town family,

And a front porch where the night feels whole.

I’ll raise my babies, sing my songs,

With freedom in my voice that’s strong.

I’ll keep my fire, I’ll keep my roots,

On my own terms, in my own boots.

Verse 2

They talked of fame, they talked of charts,

But I saw cages dressed up as art.

I want the laughter, the Sunday hymns,

Not a contract telling me who I am.

So I packed my guitar, kissed that dream,

Headed home to where the fields still gleam.

I’ll play for friends, I’ll play for kin,

And let the music breathe where it begins.

Chorus

I don’t need a stage in New York City,

Or a spotlight burning out my soul.

I’ll take the love of a small-town family,

And a front porch where the night feels whole.

I’ll raise my babies, sing my songs,

With freedom in my voice that’s strong.

I’ll keep my fire, I’ll keep my roots,

On my own terms, in my own boots.

Bridge

Maybe someday they’ll hear my tune,

From a backroad bar under a harvest moon.

But I’ll be smiling, I’ll be free,

Living the life that was meant for me.

Final Chorus (lifted)

I don’t need a crown or city lights,

I’ve got Kentucky stars to guide my nights.

I’ll raise my babies, sing my songs,

With freedom in my voice that’s strong.

I’ll keep my fire, I’ll keep my roots,

On my own terms, in my own boots.
