Me vs Me (Fightin' Man Blues)

Felt I was born for somethin' more
But I'm still knockin' on a broken door
Destined for greatness, that's what they say
But the road keeps draggin' my soul away
Tried my hands at a thousand things
Still don't know what tomorrow brings
But I won't lay this burden down
Till the fire in my chest shakes the ground

Every scar I wear is proof I tried
Every dream I lost is still alive
I'm fightin' me, the hardest war
The man in the mirror says I'm built for more
I was born to rise, I was born to bleed
To carve my name where the angels read
If I fall tonight before I'm through

I'll fall swingin' till I break on through
The fightin' man blues, it cuts me deep
But it's me versus me, and I won't sleep
Fear in my chest, hole in my heart
Afraid I'll die before I make my mark
Before I make my mama proud
Before I stand and shout it loud

But I keep walkin' through smoke and flame
Every fall just fuels my name
'Cause the devil knows, and the good Lord too
The fight in the end is me versus me, not you
One day the dirt will cover my bones
But not till I claim what I call my own
You can chain my hands, you can break my will
But the soul don't rest, it's climbin' still

I'm fightin' me, the hardest war
The man in the mirror says I'm built for more
I was born to rise, I was born to bleed
To carve my name where the angels read
If I fall tonight before I'm through
I'll fall swingin' till I break on through
The fightin' man blues, it cuts me deep
But it's me versus me, and I won't sleep
Me versus me
Till eternity
