Yeah (yeah)
Miles Harlan (uh)
Red clay… big face… (let it shine)

Red clay on the tires, still rollin’ clean
Hands smell like work, not gasoline
They see the shine, don’t see the miles
Don’t see the nights I was down for awhile
Pawnshop dreams, dollar-store faith
Now my watch cost more than the place
Still say “sir,” still say “ma’am”
Still shake hands like my daddy planned

I don’t fake who I was to be who I am
Just upgraded the plan

Red clay Rolex on my wrist (yeah)
Same dirt roots I was raised in
From a broke-down porch to a gold-plated wish
Still country when I say it
I don’t shine just to flex, I flex ‘cause I paid
Every tick got a price I paid
Red clay Rolex, don’t get it twisted
I remember who I was when I didn’t have this (uh)

Used to check the time on a cracked phone screen
Now time check me when I step on the scene
Late nights, cheap lights, cold fries
Dreams too loud for a small-town size
I ain’t switch, just elevated lanes
Same code, just better range
If you knew me then, you know me now
Just more zeros when I count it out

I don’t hide my scars or my past
That’s the reason this shine gon’ last

Red clay Rolex on my wrist (yeah)
Same dirt roots I was raised in
From a broke-down porch to a gold-plated wish
Still country when I say it
I don’t shine just to flex, I flex ‘cause I paid
Every tick got a price I paid
Red clay Rolex, don’t get it twisted
I remember who I was when I didn’t have this (no, no)

Mama said, “Don’t let it change your name”
Money loud but the truth stay the same
If it all goes dark, I’ll still be this
Time can’t buy what built this wrist

Red clay Rolex on my wrist (yeah, yeah)
Still that kid from the pavement
Gold face glowin’ but I don’t forget
Where the dirt first claimed me
I don’t shine just to flex, I flex ‘cause I stayed
Ten toes down when it wasn’t safe
Red clay Rolex—yeah, I earned this
Country soul with some big-city earnings (uh)

Yeah…
Still got clay on me (yeah)
Time tellin’ my story…
