lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out past the busted signs
Where the ash rolls through the rye
Raider scum come at night
Take the food, burn the light
Old man Jory said
"Boy, we can't keep bowin' low"
Mama hid the ammo tin
By the sink in the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
No more waitin' on a crown
No more beggin' for a hand
If they won't hear us now
We'll make 'em understand
[Chorus]
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
No hope from that far-off town
So we make our own somehow
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
[Verse 2]
Six of us by the shed
With a shotgun, rusted chain
A garden hoe, a flare gun
And a dog with a broken name
We knew every ditch and fence
Every creek bed, every bend
When they rode in slick and loud
We were waiting for 'em then
[Pre-Chorus]
No more waitin' on a crown
No more beggin' for a hand
If they won't hear us now
We'll make 'em understand
[Chorus]
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
No hope from that far-off town
So we make our own somehow
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
[Bridge]
Somewhere in that shining place
There's a man who never sees
The broken roofs, the empty pans
Or the graves beneath the trees
But down here in the dust and heat
We don't need a throne to fight
We got scars, we got names
And a reason left alive
[Final Chorus]
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
No hope from that far-off town
So we make our own somehow
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
Out past the busted signs
Where the ash rolls through the rye
Raider scum come at night
Take the food, burn the light
Old man Jory said
"Boy, we can't keep bowin' low"
Mama hid the ammo tin
By the sink in the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
No more waitin' on a crown
No more beggin' for a hand
If they won't hear us now
We'll make 'em understand
[Chorus]
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
No hope from that far-off town
So we make our own somehow
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
[Verse 2]
Six of us by the shed
With a shotgun, rusted chain
A garden hoe, a flare gun
And a dog with a broken name
We knew every ditch and fence
Every creek bed, every bend
When they rode in slick and loud
We were waiting for 'em then
[Pre-Chorus]
No more waitin' on a crown
No more beggin' for a hand
If they won't hear us now
We'll make 'em understand
[Chorus]
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
No hope from that far-off town
So we make our own somehow
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
[Bridge]
Somewhere in that shining place
There's a man who never sees
The broken roofs, the empty pans
Or the graves beneath the trees
But down here in the dust and heat
We don't need a throne to fight
We got scars, we got names
And a reason left alive
[Final Chorus]
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
No hope from that far-off town
So we make our own somehow
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
Raider scum, back off now
We stand our ground, we stand our ground
音乐风格
Melodic country with mid-tempo two-step sway, picked acoustic guitar, warm bass, brushed snare, and a mournful pedal steel that blooms in the chorus; verse stays spare and story-led, pre-chorus adds harmony lift and handclaps, chorus opens with stacked gang vocals and a sing-back hook. Close-mic lead vocal, slight grit, double-tracked on the big lines, with fiddle fills, barroom piano flickers, and a final chorus that widens with soaring steel and road-worn punchy mix., country
