[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [?] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [?] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [?] 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
