This ain't just some patch of dirt, it's everything I own Built on Grandpa's calluses and seeds that he had sown. Got a Bible on the table, a flag out on the pole And a fire in the belly burnin' deep down in my soul. (Chorus - More melodic, anthemic, with harmonies) I stand tall, I stand true, with the red dirt in my veins! For the Lord, for this land, through the sunshine and the rains! Yeah, I'll talk my talk, walk my walk, ain't afraid to throw a punch! For my family, for my freedom, ain't nothin' I won't hunt! Got that American steel runnin' deep inside my bones! Protectin' what I love, defendin' my own home! This Dirt Road Doctrine's simple, plain as it can be: You touch what's sacred, boy, you gotta deal with me! (Verse 2 - Rap/Sung, intensity building) Saw my old man work two jobs 'til his hands were raw and red Taught me 'bout respect, the words you leave unsaid 'Cept when some snake comes slitherin', tryin' poison up the well Talkin' trash 'bout this good country, spoutin' lies from where they dwell. Think we're backwards? Think we're broken? Buddy, take another look. Got roots runnin' deeper than the lines in Mama's book. This blood? It's pioneer blood, survivor of the storm! Forged on sacrifice and faith, American-born! Got love for my woman, fierce and strong and true Raise my kids the right way, teach 'em what to do. Honor God above all, respect the ground they tread And defend it with their last breath, 'til the day they drop down dead. (Chorus - Bigger, more powerful) I stand tall, I stand true, with the red dirt in my veins! For the Lord, for this land, through the sunshine and the rains! Yeah, I'll talk my talk, walk my walk, ain't afraid to throw a punch! For my family, for my freedom, ain't nothin' I won't hunt! Got that American steel runnin' deep inside my bones! Protectin' what I love, defendin' my own home! This Dirt Road Doctrine's simple, plain as it can be: You touch what's sacred, boy, you gotta deal with me! (Bridge - Sung, slightly slower, more reflective but still strong) This ain't 'bout hate, it's 'bout the ground on which I kneel The promise that I made Him, the faith that helps me heal. It's 'bout the smell of diesel mixed with honeysuckle bloom The weight of generations lyin' quiet in this room. This heritage ain't perfect, fought for, bled for, scarred and sore But it's mine to carry forward, worth defendin' to the core. So yeah, I might be rough around the edges, speak my mind too plain But my loyalty ain't questioned, through the joy and through the pain. (Guitar Solo - Twangy, bluesy, aggressive, over the driving country rap beat) (Chorus - Full energy, shouted background vocals, anthemic) I stand tall, I stand true, with the red dirt in my veins! (Hell yeah!) For the Lord, for this land, through the sunshine and the rains! (My home!) Yeah, I'll talk my talk, walk my walk, ain't afraid to throw a punch! (Bring it!) For my family, for my freedom, ain't nothin' I won't hunt! (Nothin'!) Got that American steel runnin' deep inside my bones! (Deep down!) Protectin' what I love, defendin' my own home! (My own!) This Dirt Road Doctrine's simple, plain as it can be: (Listen up!) You touch what's sacred, boy, you gotta deal with me! (Deal with me!) (Outro - Music fades slowly, guitar riff repeating, beat thumping) Yeah... Dirt Road Doctrine. Ain't nothin' fancy. Just the way it is. God. Country. Family. Try me. (Last heavy guitar chord, drum hit. Silence.)
