Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
My grandad worked this land with his own two hands
Never once asked for another man's plans
He built the barn with timber and with sweat
Paid every debt before the sun had set
Taught me that freedom ain't given, it's earned
Taught me every lesson these old fields have learned
[chorus]
There ain't no line that's gonna hold me back
There ain't no border on this open track
I was raised on room to breathe and grow
Raised where the horizon's the only limit I know
No walls, no cages, no borrowed thread
Just wide-open country and the road ahead
[verse]
Some folks build their fences high and strong
Trying to keep the whole wide world where it don't belong
But I was raised to let the cattle roam
Let the river find its own way home
Freedom ain't a thing you fence around
It's a thing you plant deep down in the ground
[chorus]
There ain't no line that's gonna hold me back
There ain't no border on this open track
I was raised on room to breathe and grow
Raised where the horizon's the only limit I know
No walls, no cages, no borrowed thread
Just wide-open country and the road ahead
[bridge]
Someday I'll hand this land down too
Tell my kids what my grandad always knew
Build your life wide, build your heart the same
Never let a fence line box your name
[chorus]
There ain't no line that's gonna hold me back
There ain't no border on this open track
I was raised on room to breathe and grow
Raised where the horizon's the only limit I know
No walls, no cages, no borrowed thread
Just wide-open country and the road ahead
