My name is Johnny

I was raised on grit and rain

Colorado gave me mountains

Mississippi gave me name

I learned to stand my ground

With dirt under my boots

Got a hard-earned kind of silence

And a truth that cuts right through

I don’t bend for just anybody

I don’t fold for a crowd

Every mile left a mark on me

And I wear it loud

Johnny from Colorado

Johnny from Colorado

Born in Mississippi

And I’m damn proud

Johnny from Colorado

Johnny from Colorado

Two strong places in my blood

That’s who I am now

I got pine on my jacket

I got mud on my soul

I got church-house manners

And a wild mountain roll

When they ask where I’m from

I say both without shame

One hand on the future

One hand on my name

I don’t bend for just anybody

I don’t fold for a crowd

Every road left a mark on me

And I wear it loud

Johnny from Colorado

Johnny from Colorado

Born in Mississippi

And I’m damn proud

Johnny from Colorado

Johnny from Colorado

Two strong places in my blood

That’s who I am now

If you want the whole story

Look at the scars I keep

One side made me stubborn

One side taught me deep

Johnny from Colorado

Johnny from Colorado

Born in Mississippi

And I’m damn proud

Johnny from Colorado

Johnny from Colorado

Two strong places in my blood

That’s who I am now

Johnny from Colorado

Johnny from Colorado

That’s who I am now
