Lyrics
**Verse 1** Kicked up dust on a road of shattered dreams, Wore my heart in patches, frayed at the seams. Fell hard in the shadows, where the cold winds howl, But I clawed my way up, ain’t stayin’ down now. **Chorus** Got iron in my soul, forged in fire and pain, Every scar’s a story, every tear’s a flame. I’m standin’ tall, unbroken, with a heart that’s bold, Singin’ loud, I’m alive, with iron in my soul! **Verse 2** Barroom nights taught me how to fight, Whiskey truths burned under neon light. Lost love, found grace in a jukebox’s hum, Each note’s a spark for the woman I’ve become. **Chorus** Got iron in my soul, forged in fire and pain, Every scar’s a story, every tear’s a flame. I’m standin’ tall, unbroken, with a heart that’s bold, Singin’ loud, I’m alive, with iron in my soul! **Bridge** They tried to bend me, tried to break my stride, But my roots run deeper than their whispered lies. With a voice like thunder, I’ll shake the ground, This iron heart’s the sweetest sound! **Chorus** Got iron in my soul, forged in fire and pain, Every scar’s a story, every tear’s a flame. I’m standin’ tall, unbroken, with a heart that’s bold, Singin’ loud, I’m alive, with iron in my soul! **Outro** (Claps, guitar swell) Iron in my soul, it’ll never rust away, Carved my name in the stars, here to stay.
