Country-pop ballad in a steady 6/8 sway with fingerpicked acoustic guitar, brushed drums, warm bass, and a soft steel-guitar sigh; verse stays intimate and story-driven, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony stacks, chorus lands with a bigger strum and a simple gang-vocal lift on the anchor line. Lead vocal is close-mic and tender with doubled choruses, gentle delay throws on key words, and a few ad-lib echoes. Dusty room tone, wide and heartfelt mix.

[Verse 1] You taught me how to stand my ground How to keep my feet on solid ground You showed me how to hold that weight When life came knocking at the gate You taught me how to shoot straight To protect myself and stay awake Not out of fear, but love so deep So I could make it home and sleep [Pre-Chorus] You did it all on your own Built this house from bone to bone Never asked for a hand to hold Just gave your all and let it show [Chorus] I'll be okay someday I'll be okay someday For everything you gave I’ll carry it all your way I'll be okay someday I'll be okay someday You raised me up this way And I won’t throw that away [Verse 2] Hardest-working man I know Smartest one in every room Funny in a way that hits Make the whole damn day go quick Gun fanatic, proud and true Crazy white boy through and through Putting everybody first Even when it left you hurt [Pre-Chorus] You did it all on your own Built this house from bone to bone Never asked for a hand to hold Just gave your all and let it show [Chorus] I'll be okay someday I'll be okay someday For everything you gave I’ll carry it all your way I'll be okay someday I'll be okay someday You raised me up this way And I won’t throw that away [Bridge] I know you carried more than me Sacrificed what they never see Still you stood there, day by day With that quiet, stubborn grace And if I stumble, if I fall I hear your voice inside it all Saying son, just keep on trying Keep your heart up, keep on climbing [Chorus] I'll be okay someday I'll be okay someday For everything you gave I’ll carry it all your way I'll be okay someday I'll be okay someday You raised me up this way And I won’t throw that away [Outro] So take this love, I’m telling you I hear every word you said was true I’ll be okay someday Because you made me this way
