Verse 1 They packed their bags, guitars and hearts, when the map was drawn unfair, Rode north to keep our voices loud, to tell the world they care. Joe Moody, Mary González and Art Fierro took the lead, James Talarico tweeted boldly, “We’ll come home when it’s time to heal.” Chorus These are the names of the quorum-breakin’ crew, Standing up for voters’ rights so everyone gets through. They sang freedom’s gospel, they held the line for you, In the Texas sun they stood as one and raised the flag of truth. Verse 2 Ana-Maria Ramos called out those who headed back too soon, While Garnet Coleman, still recovering, kept the fight up from his room. With him were Ana Hernandez and Armando Walle – three from Houston strong, They cited hardship when they returned, but their spirits marched along. Chorus These are the names of the quorum-breakin’ crew, Standing up for voters’ rights so everyone gets through. They sang freedom’s gospel, they held the line for you, In the Texas sun they stood as one and raised the flag of truth. Bridge Erin Zwiener called for proof the quorum number was for real, Chris Turner led the caucus chorus; Anchía kept the zeal. Toni Rose of Dallas and Trey Martinez Fischer’s firebrand style, Showed the state and nation that justice takes a while. Chorus These are the names of the quorum-breakin’ crew, Standing up for voters’ rights so everyone gets through. They sang freedom’s gospel, they held the line for you, In the Texas sun they stood as one and raised the flag of truth. Outro So remember these Texans when the ballot box is near, They took a stand to guard your vote, to make the picture clear. With country twang and gospel soul, their courage led the way, And if another map turns crooked, you’ll hear their names today.
