I was born abandoned, in a cold ranch shack,
Found me by the half door, mama's hoof prints on my back.
I was freezing, but kicking,
In the hard dirt I was digging,
Just like I was made to do.
They took one look at me and they said, well, whose colt are you?
A mouth full of bad straw, I folded up to choke,
Record ice and record snow, records made to be broke.
I was walking, then crawling,
To the big house they were hauling,
That's where I was raised straight through.
They wrapped me up in blankets and they said, well, whose colt are you?
Well, who the hell are you when we lock you in the pen,
Throwing off those riders, time and time again?
See, I won’t take your saddle, I can't be led around,
When you start out life the way I did, it's buddy, how you like the ground?
How you like the trouble, how you like the sound?
No, you never, you never settle down.
The silence of this world, spilled out onto the ground,
No, you never settle, you never settle down.
I was born abandoned, in a cold ranch shack,
Found me by the half door, mama’s hoof prints on my back.
I was hurting, but living,
In my own way I was winning,
Just try to deny it's true.
You take one look at me and you say, well, whose colt are you?
