We Ain't Leaving

(album: Patriot - 2020)

I'm on a backhoe dripping sweat here in the middle of July
Driving 18 wheels from Memphis to a big Montana sky
Turning wrenches on a diesel
Running cattle through the back
You don't hear too much from us
'Cause everyday we bust our ass

We like to see the red sun drop below the mountains
We don't always find our way but we're still counting
Every single soul we've helped
All the bad cards we've been dealt
And if you think we all died out man you're just dreaming
'Cause we're still here, alive and well and we ain't leaving

I've been swinging with a hammer since I was 14 years old
Don't believe in taking hand-outs and I do just what I'm told
If I say I'm gonna be there you can take it to the bank
We're mostly quiet but you better watch your ass the day we ain't

We like to see the red sun drop below the mountains
We don't always find our way but we're still counting
Every single soul we've helped
All the bad cards we've been dealt
And if you think we all died out man you're just dreaming
'Cause we're still here, alive and well and we ain't leaving

We like to see the red sun drop below the mountains
We don't always find our way but we're still counting
Every single soul we've helped
All the bad cards we've been dealt
And if you think we all died out man you're just dreaming
We're still here, alive and well and we ain't leaving
We ain't leaving
