[Verse 1]
Dust on his boots, day by day
Old scars talk in a quiet way
Raiders brag at the edge of town
He just squares up, puts them down
Broken roads and boarded doors
He’s seen this world survive much worse
A flag in his mind, worn but true
He don’t forget what he came through
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, "Son, hold fast
We’re built to last"
Through ash and rain
He feels that name
[Chorus]
General still remembers America
General still remembers America
He’ll sweep that scum away
He’ll clear the Commonwealth today
(General still remembers America)
[Verse 2]
Mercenaries flash their steel
Killer smiles, cold as a deal
But he reads fear in every grin
Like a storm that’s caving in
He walks slow, never needs to shout
Truth is what his hands are about
When the worst comes creeping near
He plants his feet, he plants his fear
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, "Son, stand tall
They’re bound to fall"
From north to south
He’s clearing out
[Chorus]
General still remembers America
General still remembers America
He’ll sweep that scum away
He’ll clear the Commonwealth today
(General still remembers America)
[Bridge]
And if the night gets hard
He’s a battered shield and card
Every name the wastes forgot
He keeps alive, he leaves them not
[Final Chorus]
General still remembers America
General still remembers America
He’ll wipe that scum away
Till the whole damn wasteland pays
General still remembers America
(General still remembers America)
Dust on his boots, day by day
Old scars talk in a quiet way
Raiders brag at the edge of town
He just squares up, puts them down
Broken roads and boarded doors
He’s seen this world survive much worse
A flag in his mind, worn but true
He don’t forget what he came through
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, "Son, hold fast
We’re built to last"
Through ash and rain
He feels that name
[Chorus]
General still remembers America
General still remembers America
He’ll sweep that scum away
He’ll clear the Commonwealth today
(General still remembers America)
[Verse 2]
Mercenaries flash their steel
Killer smiles, cold as a deal
But he reads fear in every grin
Like a storm that’s caving in
He walks slow, never needs to shout
Truth is what his hands are about
When the worst comes creeping near
He plants his feet, he plants his fear
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, "Son, stand tall
They’re bound to fall"
From north to south
He’s clearing out
[Chorus]
General still remembers America
General still remembers America
He’ll sweep that scum away
He’ll clear the Commonwealth today
(General still remembers America)
[Bridge]
And if the night gets hard
He’s a battered shield and card
Every name the wastes forgot
He keeps alive, he leaves them not
[Final Chorus]
General still remembers America
General still remembers America
He’ll wipe that scum away
Till the whole damn wasteland pays
General still remembers America
(General still remembers America)
Musikstyle
Heroic country with a driving mid-tempo stomp, acoustic guitar, brushed snare, and steel guitar lines that answer the vocal; verse rides tight picked guitar and low bass, pre-chorus opens with handclaps and rising harmony, chorus hits with gang vocals and a lifted fiddle hook. Close-mic male vocal in the verses, rough harmony doubles on the hook, short delay throws on the title phrase, dusty room ambience, bright and punchy mix with cinematic lift, country
