[Verse 1] I was raised where the corn meets the cotton, Where the law’s in your word, not just in your wallet. We don’t start fights, but we sure know how to end ‘em, Say grace, say what we mean — God help who offends us. [Pre-Chorus] This flag flies high, this ground runs deep, These boots been stompin’ since ‘83. [Chorus] I stand my ground — I ain’t yours to break, Ride with the wind, with every step I take. Got fire in my soul and a dog that won’t flee, You come for the truth, you’ll answer to me. This land walks proud and free — So I stand my ground, don’t come for me. [Verse 2] That old truck’s rusted but she still rolls strong, Like my daddy’s old words: “Right’s right, and wrong’s wrong.” Ain’t got time for games or backhand deals, We run on whiskey, grit, and stainless steel. [Pre-Chorus] I tip my hat, I say “yes, ma’am,” But push me hard — I’ll show you who I am. [Chorus] I stand my ground — I ain’t yours to break, Ride with the wind, with every step I take. Got fire in my soul and a dog that won’t flee, You come for the truth, you’ll answer to me. This land walks proud and free — So I stand my ground, don’t come for me. [Bridge] You can take my time, take my pay, But don’t take my pride or get in my way. We might be small towns and old jeans — But we’re tough as nails and mean what we mean. [Final Chorus] Don’t tread on me — I ain’t your stepping stone, I ride with the wind, and I stand on my own. Got fire in my soul and a dog that won’t flee, You mess with the bull, you’ll feel the teeth. This land don’t bow, it rides free — So don’t tread on me. [Outro] Yeah, this land don’t bow… So don’t tread on me. don't tread on me........ (instrument fade)
