Lyrics

Roots run deep in the heart of this town
You learn real young you don’t back down
You know they call these fields of gold
But the government loans will rob your soul
People leave with the prairie winds
Ride the rails to a better way
Board it up, pack it in
Bid farewell but me I stay
When the waters rise — don’t back down
When you hit hard times — don’t back down
When the dust rolls in — don’t back down
Don’t give in, don’t back down
Stick around this old ghost town
Old John Joe lives up the road
He still plays a mean banjo
After mass old Father John
He still loves to tie one on
Broken backs and calloused hands
You’ll get old before your time
It’s not for any woman or man
It’s tough as nails but I don’t mind
When the waters rise — don’t back down
When you hit hard times — don’t back down
When the dust rolls in — don’t back down
Don’t give in, don’t back down
Gonna stick around this old ghost town
People leave with the prairie winds
Ride the rails to a better way
Board it up, pack it in
Bid farewell but me I stay
When the waters rise — don’t back down
When you hit hard times — don’t back down
When the banker calls — don’t back down
When the prices fall — don’t back down
When the dust rolls in — don’t back down
When the fires come — don’t back down
When the hurt begins — don’t back down
Don’t give in, don’t back down
