From Scratch and set free Lyrics

Bet, y'all still think I'm playin', not writin' my own damn tunes

But I've been steeped in that country long before these modern-day tunes

From old tapes on my grandma's black-and-white screen to waylon and old Johnny Cash

Drinkin' moonshine from my neighbor's stash, ain't nothin' wrong with that

Lost myself in a rough patch, stress weighed heavy on me

Tried to make beats for some quick cash, but I knew that wasn't the key

Now I`ve started from scratch, doin' what I'm meant to be

Just a writer with my guitar, and these songs have set me free

Walked in them boots and a Levi's jacket before it was a modern-day crave

Found my way through the hard times and those familiar country ways

From the backwoods to this old porch swing, it's a journey that's been true

Just me, my guitar, and the songs I sing, this is what I was born to do

Lost myself in a rough patch, stress weighed heavy on me

Tried to make beats for some quick cash, but I knew that wasn't the key

Now I`ve started from scratch, doin' what I'm meant to be

Just a writer with my guitar, and these songs have set me free

I've weathered storms, walked through the fire, but country music's my true desire

Ain't no trend or a fleeting phase, guess it's just where my heart finds its place

Lost myself in a rough patch, stress weighed heavy on me

Tried to make beats for some quick cash, but I knew that wasn't the key

Now I`ve started from scratch, doin' what I'm meant to be

Just a writer with my guitar, and these songs have set me free

So y'all can keep on doubtin', I've got nothin' to prove

Just a country soul with a story and a song that's true

Pickin' up that pen, writin' songs that's all me

This is where I belong, it's the only place I'll be
