[Intro: Aggressive banjo and steel guitar] [Punk-speed country riff] [Verse 1: Setting the rebel scene] Well I reckon it's time to raise some hell Got my boots on and a story to tell They say we gotta bow down to the crown But this ol' boy ain't backing down From these hills to the holler below Every man's got a right to say no [Hook] [Instrumental] [Verse 2: The call to arms] Paint my face with mud and pride Got my brothers standing by my side They can take our land and take our gold But they can't break a spirit that won't be sold So saddle up and load your gun This fight for freedom's just begun [Chorus: The battle cry] Freedom ain't free, boys, it's earned with blood From the mountains high to the valley mud They may take our lives but they'll never take The fire burning for freedom's sake So ride hard, fight harder, till the battle's won Freedom ain't free for anyone [Verse 3: The struggle continues] Now the sheriff's coming round again With his badge and his government men But I'd rather die on my own two feet Than live my life kissing boots so sweet This ain't about no king or crown It's about not letting them keep us down [Drop] [Instrumental] [Bridge: The rally cry with country twang] Y'all listen up, hear what I say Every dog's gonna have his day From the backwoods to the city street We ain't the kind that accept defeat So grab your rifle, grab your pride It's time to turn this bloody tide [Chorus: The battle cry - more intense] Freedom ain't free, boys, it's earned with blood From the mountains high to the valley mud They may take our lives but they'll never take The fire burning for freedom's sake So ride hard, fight harder, till the battle's won Freedom ain't free for anyone [Verse 4: The final stand] When the dust settles and the smoke clears We'll remember those who conquered their fears Every scar tells a story of the fight Every victory bought with blood and might So raise your glass to the fallen brave Who chose freedom over the grave [Outro: Fading with steel guitar and banjo] [Aggressive country punk fadeout] Freedom ain't free, no it ain't free That's the price of liberty © 2025 Ande Records Lyrics by Ande All rights reserved. https://ande-records.se/
