[Blues Slide Guitar Intro] [Verse 1] [Female Lead] Your coat still hangs behind the kitchen door The screen keeps knocking like it did before I found your name scratched in the toolbox lid And every road out feels like something we did [Abrupt Silence Break] STILL HERE! [Verse 2] [Male Lead] The creek ran high and took the fence away We hauled those boards through half the winter day No clean hands left when the work gets done We keep our word when the hard times come [Pre-Chorus] [Syncopated Riff] The courthouse clock can count the hours down But it can’t tell a heart when to leave this town PUT YOUR BOOTS BACK ON THE GROUND! [Chorus] [Heavy Southern Metal Groove] [Duet] WE CARRY EVERY MARK WE OWN! WE BUILT THIS HOUSE FROM STONE BY STONE! WHEN THE COLD WIND CUTS THROUGH THE COUNTY LINE YOU’LL FIND YOUR HAND STILL HOLDING MINE! [Abrupt Stop] [Total Silence] [Verse 3] [Bluesy Groove Shift] [Male Lead with Dry Percussion] A coffee tin full of bent-up nails Your old red scarf tucked under the rails ONE MORE LOAD BEFORE THE DAY IS GONE! [Slow Blues Breakdown] [Heavy Triplet Groove] [Bridge] [Double Bass Explosion] [Aggressive Male Shouts] HOLD THE LINE! HOLD THE LINE! WE’VE BEEN HERE THROUGH THE WORST OF TIMES! KEEP THE WATER OFF THE FLOOR! WE’LL RAISE THIS PLACE ONCE MORE! [Guitar Solo] [Wild Blues Slide Guitar Solo] [Fast Double Bass Drums] [Fake Drop] [Abrupt Stop] And when the rain lets go... [Final Chorus] [Maximum Power Duet] [Full Double Bass Drum Beats] WE CARRY EVERY MARK WE OWN! WE BUILT THIS HOUSE FROM STONE BY STONE! WHEN THE COLD WIND CUTS THROUGH THE COUNTY LINE YOU’LL FIND YOUR HAND STILL HOLDING MINE! [Outro] [Abrupt Heavy Ringout] Still here.
