It's the mudslingin', country singin' redneck stunner
Imma show you who I am if you really think you wanna
Take a ride down the dirty road, show ya where the still is
Skeered? stay at home son, this is where the real is

Folks 'round her still believe in God
And the right to tote a gun and our flag don't run
Ain't askin' you fo nothin' if we can't get it on our own
Tell the government to leave my check and church alone

Y'all can do y'all and we'll do us
And our money should always say "In God We Trust"
So if you think like that, then you one of us
If not then move on and leave us alone

'Cause country folk can survive, jus' ask Hank
Leave my money in my pocket y'all can have the bank
I'm tryin to tell ya we smarter than some of y'all think
Even though we talk slow all of y'all should know that..

[Chorus]
This is our song everybody sing it
Clap your hands y'all and do it like you mean it
Stand our ground and we don't back down
If you're from a small town and you're never gonna leave it
This is our song everybody sing it
Clap your hands y'all and do it like you mean
Stand our ground and we don't back down
And if you don't like it then don't come around

We come from hardworking people, they can't stand a thief
Don't like a liar, freezer full of deer meat
Home grown tomatoes in the kitchen window
Daddy is a deacon, mama sings "Swing Low"
At the church in the choir, Sunday dinners on the fire
Colt Ford Danny Boone gettin' mud up on the tires

We represent our folk but don't take us for a joke
We got a cooler full of boo and a pocket full of smoke
Yeah we country as corn bread, and pumpin' Nappy Roots
And if it ain't funeral we ain't gon' wear a suit

We peein' off the front porch, peein' of da back
'Cause we livin' in da boonies and they don't know where we at
Can't market us urban, won't market us rural
Drinkin' moonshine till we drunk and seein' plural
Small town livin' and we don't give a damn
If yo Hollywood or not, 'cause we know who we am

[Chorus]

Ain't funny how the money change who you is
Sell your sould to teh devil be a star in his biz
Give up everything so you can play this game
Make a buncha folks happy that don't know yo name

Don't worry 'bout me, Imma spit the truth
See I gotta represent for our country youth
And keep hope alive, cuz I will survive
With a shotgun baby and a four wheel drive

I'm buck huntin' dog runnin' playin' in a mud hole
Pumping Johnny Cash, haulin' ass down a back road
Love it in the country where my soul is free
In God and my family is all I need, sing it

[Chorus x2]

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
