Paroles
[Verse 1]
Dust on the flag in the Castle yard
Rust on the turrets and the broken guard
He rode in slow, long coat in the wind
Said, "Suit up, soldiers, we’re home again"
[Chorus]
Minutemen take back the land
From the cracked blacktop to the harbor sand
Steel birds roaring over rusted ground
Grand ship shadow rolling out of town
We ain’t running from the badlands now
Boots in the dirt, we make this vow
Minutemen take back the land
Side by side, we rise, we stand (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Convoy rolling past the skeleton signs
Turrets on the turrets, cannons aligned
Raiders on the ridge hear that diesel cry
Then they see our colors cutting the sky
[Chorus]
Minutemen take back the land
From the cracked blacktop to the harbor sand
Steel birds roaring over rusted ground
Grand ship shadow rolling out of town
We ain’t running from the badlands now
Boots in the dirt, we make this vow
Minutemen take back the land
Side by side, we rise, we stand
[Bridge]
Gunners on the walls shout, “Turn around!”
Mutant howls drowned in the thunder sound
Hearts beat hard to a marching drum
Commonwealth calling, we say, “We come”
[Chorus]
Minutemen take back the land
From the cracked blacktop to the harbor sand
Steel birds roaring over rusted ground
Grand ship shadow rolling out of town
We ain’t running from the badlands now
Boots in the dirt, we make this vow
Minutemen take back the land
Side by side, we rise, we stand
Dust on the flag in the Castle yard
Rust on the turrets and the broken guard
He rode in slow, long coat in the wind
Said, "Suit up, soldiers, we’re home again"
[Chorus]
Minutemen take back the land
From the cracked blacktop to the harbor sand
Steel birds roaring over rusted ground
Grand ship shadow rolling out of town
We ain’t running from the badlands now
Boots in the dirt, we make this vow
Minutemen take back the land
Side by side, we rise, we stand (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Convoy rolling past the skeleton signs
Turrets on the turrets, cannons aligned
Raiders on the ridge hear that diesel cry
Then they see our colors cutting the sky
[Chorus]
Minutemen take back the land
From the cracked blacktop to the harbor sand
Steel birds roaring over rusted ground
Grand ship shadow rolling out of town
We ain’t running from the badlands now
Boots in the dirt, we make this vow
Minutemen take back the land
Side by side, we rise, we stand
[Bridge]

Mutant howls drowned in the thunder sound
Hearts beat hard to a marching drum
Commonwealth calling, we say, “We come”
[Chorus]
Minutemen take back the land

Steel birds roaring over rusted ground
Grand ship shadow rolling out of town
We ain’t running from the badlands now
Boots in the dirt, we make this vow
Minutemen take back the land
Side by side, we rise, we stand
Style de musique
country, Country-rock swagger with heroic, melodic guitar leads, steady kick and snare, and warm bass. Male vocals with a gritty, storytelling edge. Fiddle doubles the hook in the chorus; gang vocals on key lines for battlefield camaraderie. Bridge drops to acoustic strum and low vocal, then full-band lift with soaring bends and big, open chords.
