Lyrics
Verse 1
Mama had a jaw like oakGrandma kept her word like lawAunt June could outstare hailAnd never once back up or crawlI grew up on hard-edged prayersRed clay stuck to my jeansIf the roof tore off the shedWe nailed it back with our own teeth
Pre‑Chorus
So when the sky turned meanI didn’t run for coverI heard those women in meSay, girl, you were made tougher
Chorus
I’m a mustang in the stormI run right through the thunderI’m a mustang in the stormYou can hear my heels hit underWon’t bow, won’t foldWon’t let that wind take holdI’m a mustang in the stormMustang in the storm
Verse 2
Daddy said the desert teachesEvery fool how bones can singHeat can crack a weaker promiseBut it can’t catch everythingI’ve got scars like fence wireOn my arms and on my soulStill I keep that flame lit upWhile the black clouds lose control
Pre‑Chorus
So when the sky turned meanI didn’t run for coverI heard those women in meSay, girl, you were made tougher
Chorus
I’m a mustang in the stormI run right through the thunderI’m a mustang in the stormYou can hear my heels hit underWon’t bow, won’t foldWon’t let that wind take holdI’m a mustang in the stormMustang in the storm
Bridge
My bloodline don’t back downIt digs in and stands its groundIf the world comes swinging lowI hit back with both feet downAnd if that lightning wants meIt better learn to chase’Cause I was born from womenWho outran harder days
Chorus
I’m a mustang in the stormI run right through the thunderI’m a mustang in the stormYou can hear my heels hit underWon’t bow, won’t foldWon’t let that wind take holdI’m a mustang in the stormMustang in the storm
