we ain't leaving

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
