Homefront Oath

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wore that flag like steel Through sand and smoke and rain Came home to raise my son And learn this American pain Now the quiet ain't so quiet When the wrong man crosses lines I keep my boots by the door And my oath stays sharp in time [Pre-Chorus] You can test this land You can rattle that gate But I know every scar That made this country brave When the ground gets cold And the night gets loud I stand my post I don't back down [Chorus] Homefront oath I still stand Homefront oath With this calloused hand If you come for my people You'll hear me say Not on my watch Not today Homefront oath I still stand [Verse 2] I seen good men fold And I seen good men rise Seen a mama pray hard With tears in her eyes Seen a truck-stop flag Snap hard in the wind Seen the whole town gather When the sirens rolled in I ain't chasing glory I ain't thirstin' for fame I'm just a veteran With fire in my veins [Pre-Chorus] You can test this land You can rattle that gate But I know every scar That made this country brave When the ground gets cold And the night gets loud I stand my post I don't back down [Chorus] Homefront oath I still stand Homefront oath With this calloused hand If you come for my people You'll hear me say Not on my watch Not today Homefront oath I still stand [Bridge] From the county line To the courthouse steps From the feed store roof To the old church pews We don't bow to fear We don't break for hate We lock arms tight And we guard this place [Final Chorus] Homefront oath I still stand Homefront oath With this calloused hand If you come for my people You'll hear me say Not on my watch Not today Homefront oath I still stand Homefront oath I still stand
