[Verse 1]
Everybody got their eye on the prize
Wants to know what it's like
To be on top of the world
Think it's all money and fame
It's just a game
But it's more than denim and pearls
It's a real man's world
And I ain't lyin'
[Verse 2]
Gripped tighter and you get a deep seat
Turned out ya feet
Get your hooks in and let it go
Feel the power straight out the gate
But it ain't too late
Roll your hips son
Get back in the flow
Eight seconds is a long damn time
[Chorus]
It's more than the shine in the buckle
Broken hearts, busted knuckles
You know you gotta hustle
You're sifting through the rubble
To find your soul's on the line
And you're running behind
It's more than the shine
[Verse 3]
Sometimes you land on your feet
Or accept defeat
Pick up yourself
Get back on again
Most nights you lie awake
As your body aches
Knowing you've lost more than you'll win
Please God just give me a sign
This life's been a hard go
Out on the road
Chasing this damn rodeo
The woman I love stays on my mind
[Chorus]
It's more than the shine in the buckle
Broken hearts, busted knuckles
You know you gotta hustle
You're sifting through the rubble
To find your soul's on the line
And you're running behind
It's more than the shine
[Instrumental Break]
It's more than the shine in the buckle
Broken hearts, busted knuckles
You know you gotta hustle
You're sifting through the rubble
To find your soul's on the line
And you're running behind
It's more than the shine in the buckle
Broken hearts, busted knuckles
You know you gotta hustle
You're sifting through the rubble
To find your soul's on the line
And you're running behind
It's more than the shine
It's more than that shine
[Outro]
Everybody got their eye on the prize
Wants to know what it's like
To be on top of the world
