From the recording Built beyond the line
Lyrics
He was first across the finish
Dust flying off the track
Left the records shattered
Never once looking back…
Steel running through his veins
Fire burning in his soul
A hard-earned reputation
No one could control
He never chased the spotlight
Never looked for fame
Just carried quiet thunder
In the power of his name
He’s built beyond the line…
Where the weak hearts fall apart
Got a rebel soul of iron
And a wild untamed heart
Crossed the oceans, climbed the mountains
Stared the devil in the eye
He's a runaway train
Beneath a burning sky
The world will try to break him
They’ll never change his kind
Born for something bigger
He's built beyond the line
He crossed the seas at sunrise
With the salt wind in his face
Rode camels through the deserts
Enjoyed wide open space
Safari through the jungle
Broke broncos in Cheyenne
Watched the northern lights in Norway
Worked the mines in Birmingham
Ain’t afraid of hard work
Seen the scars left on his skin
Every mile he traveled
Still the man he’s always been
He’s built beyond the line…
Where the weak hearts fall apart
Got a rebel soul of iron
And a wild untamed heart
Crossed the oceans, climbed the mountains
Stared the devil in the eye
He's a runaway train
Beneath a burning sky
The world will try to break him
They’ll never change his kind
Born for something bigger
He's built beyond the line
Some men fold under pressure
Some men fade away
But he keeps pushing harder
With every passing day
Never fit their mold
Never bowed his head
He will leave a mark
Believe just what I said
He’s built beyond the line…
Like thunder in the night
More than a survivor
Still ready for the fight
Driven by conviction
And a passion burning true
won’t leave a stone unturned
Or a dream he won’t pursue
Yeah legends aren’t just born
They’re forged by sacrifice
A man like him keeps rolling
Living his best life
Fastest to the finish
Still running strong and free
A man carved out of granite
Living how a man should be
Living how a man should be…
