[Verse 1]
Raider scum on the hill
Killers all around
They grin and spit on promises
Then they spit on common ground
They laughed at the General
Said "your men will run away"
But he stood there in the ash wind
Like he was made to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
He raised up his chin
He set his jaw hard
Said "boys, line up now
We fight for our yard"
[Chorus]
Raise your chin
Hold that line
Commonwealth is ours tonight
Raise your chin
Hear that cry
Minutemen don't back down
[Verse 2]
Old coats flappin' in the gale
Boots sunk in the dirt
Mama's hand on a rifle stock
Brother on the work
Every farm and broken fence
Every shack and prayer
Had a name worth guardin'
Had a soul worth stayin' there
[Pre-Chorus]
He raised up his chin
He set his jaw hard
Said "boys, line up now
We fight for our yard"
[Chorus]
Raise your chin
Hold that line
Commonwealth is ours tonight
Raise your chin
Hear that cry
Minutemen don't back down
[Bridge]
Let the raiders come loud
Let 'em bang on the gate
There's a fire in the valley
And it ain't gonna wait
When the smoke rolls thin
And the crow flies by
You'll see the General standin'
With the dawn in his eye
[Final Chorus]
Raise your chin
Hold that line
Commonwealth is ours tonight
Raise your chin
Hear that cry
Minutemen don't back down
Raise your chin
One more time
Commonwealth is ours tonight
Raise your chin
Hear that cry
Minutemen don't back down
Raider scum on the hill
Killers all around
They grin and spit on promises
Then they spit on common ground
They laughed at the General
Said "your men will run away"
But he stood there in the ash wind
Like he was made to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
He raised up his chin
He set his jaw hard
Said "boys, line up now
We fight for our yard"
[Chorus]
Raise your chin
Hold that line
Commonwealth is ours tonight
Raise your chin
Hear that cry
Minutemen don't back down
[Verse 2]
Old coats flappin' in the gale
Boots sunk in the dirt
Mama's hand on a rifle stock
Brother on the work
Every farm and broken fence
Every shack and prayer
Had a name worth guardin'
Had a soul worth stayin' there
[Pre-Chorus]
He raised up his chin
He set his jaw hard
Said "boys, line up now
We fight for our yard"
[Chorus]
Raise your chin
Hold that line
Commonwealth is ours tonight
Raise your chin
Hear that cry
Minutemen don't back down
[Bridge]
Let the raiders come loud
Let 'em bang on the gate
There's a fire in the valley
And it ain't gonna wait
When the smoke rolls thin
And the crow flies by
You'll see the General standin'
With the dawn in his eye
[Final Chorus]
Raise your chin
Hold that line
Commonwealth is ours tonight
Raise your chin
Hear that cry
Minutemen don't back down
Raise your chin
One more time
Commonwealth is ours tonight
Raise your chin
Hear that cry
Minutemen don't back down

Country ballad with a driving midtempo two-step, acoustic guitar and fiddle on the verses, stompy drums and gang harmonies on the chorus; verse keeps the space dusty and tense, pre-chorus lifts with pedal steel swells, chorus hits with a chantable call-and-response about the Commonwealth. Lead vocal is rough and close-mic in verses, doubled on the hook, with handclaps, harmonica licks, and a rising fiddle turnaround into each chorus. Bright, punchy mix with a weathered frontier feel., country
