Self Made Lyrics


Born a survivor, like father, like gun
Built to outlast where you came from
Nothing comes easy when nothing is handed to you
Taught yourself how to turn the tides
Walk ashore before the waters rise
Even when you're down, you're still coming through
Making diamonds out of dust
You'll shine before you turn to rust
Never by the book, always underestimated
It's hard to believe the life that you created
Self made
Learned from the will of the working man
Breaking hard ground for a piece of land
Up before the sun and down before the rising moon
Oh fought for the things that were never yours
Settle for less and hope for more
God and pouring rain never come too soon
Making diamonds out of dust

Who you are is who you trust
Never by the book, always underestimated
It's hard to believe the life that you created
The impossible endeavor never would you trade
It's a legacy that you take to the grave
Self made, self made
Live and die by the chance we're taking
Money don't buy the life that we're making
Never by the book, always underestimated
It's hard to believe the life that you created
The impossible endeavor never would you trade
It's a legacy that you take to the grave
Self made, self made
Live and die by the chance we're taking
Self made
Money don't buy the life that we're making
Self made
Live and die by the chance we're taking
Self made
Money don't buy the life that we're making
Self made
Live and die by the chance we're taking
Self made
Money don't buy the life that we're making

Little Big Town is an American country music band.

Formed in 1999, the band has four members: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet. There is no lead singer in the band; instead, they trade lead vocal duties as well as rely on the harmonies of the four members.

Little Big Town's self-titled 2002 debut for Sony's Monument Records was panned critically and did not sell commercially. The album had only one minor hit single, "Don't Waste My Time," and it wasn't long before Little Big Town was dropped from the label.

Little Big Town resurfaced on the Equity Music Group label (formed by country singer Clint Black), and on October 4, 2005, released their second album, The Road to Here. The new album was well-received critically, and spawned the smash hit single "Boondocks." Three further singles were released from the album, including the Top 5 hit "Bring It on Home." One track, ": Bones," was directed at Sony. Speaking with Songfacts about the song in a 2011 interview, Little Big Town's Phillip Sweet said: "There was a little bit of attitude from us to the label. But it wasn't like there was one particular person. It was more of like the big, bad label that won't let you be yourself, you know what I mean? (laughing) We were just saying 'this is who we are,' and then we eventually got dropped. And we were able to take that music and come out with it on an independent label."

Their second album with the Equity label, A Place to Land, was released in 2007. Although, not long after its release, the label folded. Little Big Town then re-released the album a year later via Capitol Nashville. Two of the album's singles were minor Top 40 hits.

In 2010, the group returned with "Little White Church," the lead-off to their fourth studio album, The Reason Why, which was released on August 24, 2010.

The Pontoon Songfacts reports in 2012, the group returned with "Pontoon," the lead-off to their fifth studio album. The song was released to Country radio on April 30, 2012.
