[Verse 1]
Sun up
Boots on that red clay road
Coffee in a jar
Heartbreak in my coat
Grandma humming low in the kitchen steam
Said
"You carry what you come from
girly
Like a quiet stream"

[Chorus]
I got a river in my bones (rolling, rolling)
Old songs tangled in my veins
I was born from dust and thunder
I keep walking through the pain
I got a river in my bones (won’t dry, won’t dry)
Every mile
It sings me home
I’m a long line of survivors
And that river’s in my bones

[Verse 2]
Hands cracked
Map of a hard-won year
Laugh lines growing where the doubt and fear were
Church bell ringing out across this town
But I hear voices in the cotton rows
Calling from the ground

[Chorus]
I got a river in my bones (rolling, rolling)
Old songs tangled in my veins
I was born from dust and thunder
I keep walking through the pain
I got a river in my bones (won’t dry, won’t dry)
Every mile
It sings me home
I’m a long line of survivors
And that river’s in my bones

[Bridge]
Say my name
Say their names
We are branches
Same old flame
Hands to the sky
Feet in the dirt
Turning all that grief into a hallelujah work (oh)

[Chorus]
I got a river in my bones (rolling, rolling)
Old songs tangled in my veins
I was born from dust and thunder
I keep walking through the pain
I got a river in my bones (won’t dry, won’t dry)
Every mile
It sings me home
I’m a long line of survivors
And that river’s in my bones
