Child of the Hinterland (2026)

Born where the asphalt ends and the dust begins In a valley where the river and the history spins We didn’t have much, just a name and a blade And the promise of a life that we haven’t betrayed They call it the middle of nowhere, a ghost on the map But for us, it’s the heartbeat, the grit, and the sap. I’m a child of the hinterland, a son of the wild With a heart like a hammer, unreconciled Raised on the ridges where the iron winds blow I’ve got silver in my pocket but dirt in my soul From the bars to the backroads, let the rhythm ignite A child of the hinterland is coming home tonight! The city lights flicker like a distant lie But I need the roof of a wide-open sky They talk about progress, they talk about change But we’re the outlaws riding on a different range Steel-toed boots on a hardwood floor We don’t knock, brother, we kick down the door. It’s the smell of the pine and the grease on the hands... It’s the blood in the dirt of our fathers' lands! I’m a child of the hinterland, a son of the wild With a heart like a hammer, unreconciled Raised on the ridges where the iron winds blow I’ve got silver in my pocket but dirt in my soul From the bars to the backroads, let the rhythm ignite A child of the hinterland is coming home tonight! Yeah, we’re coming home...
