Lyrics

Boot prints burned
In the dust and diesel
Old man's voice
In the back of my skull
Kid, they don't pin medals
On the ones who run
Teeth on steel
I load another one
Smoke in my lungs
And the dawn runs red
Cold tin cup
And a half-shot prayer unsaid
Every mile behind me
Taught me what I am
Not some flag in the wind
But a hard-made man
Better to fight for something
Than live for nothing at all
I'll take the weight and the wounds
Over hiding behind these walls
If heaven's counting my heartbeat
While I'm answering the call
May God have mercy on my enemies
'Cause I won't at all
They sell flags
Like they're selling salvation
Cheap talk, clean hands
Far from the abrasion
Nobody wins
By just dying on command
I'm here to keep
My brothers breathing if I can
Mud on my knees
And blood on my sleeve
I learned real quick
What a man should believe
Not in slogans shouted
From some safe parade
But the ones still standing
When the light begins to fade
Better to fight for something
Than live for nothing at all
I'll take the weight and the wounds
Over hiding behind these walls
If heaven's counting my heartbeat
While I'm answering the call
May God have mercy on my enemies
'Cause I won't at all
I don't pray
To be spared from the weather
I just pray
That my hands stay steady
Knuckles split
And the barrel runs hot
You find out real fast
What fear cannot stop
If this is the hill
Then this is where I stand
Not for a lie
But the ones at my hand
The ones who bled
The ones who held the line
The ones who made sure
The next breath could be mine
Better to fight for something
Than live for nothing at all
I'll take the weight and the wounds
Over hiding behind these walls
If heaven's counting my heartbeat
While I'm answering the call
May God have mercy on my enemies
'Cause I won't at all
Night comes down
But I don't break with it
I've seen too much
To go soft or quit
Every scar is proof
That I stayed when it hurt
And every man I carried
Still lives in the dirt
So let them come
With their thunder and flame
I know the cost
And I came just the same
Better a hard road
With a purpose to give
Than a hollow, quiet life
That forgot how to live
Better to fight for something
Than live for nothing at all
I'll take the weight and the wounds
Over hiding behind these walls
If heaven's counting my heartbeat
While I'm answering the call
May God have mercy on my enemies
'Cause I won't at all
Better to fight for something
Than rot behind it all
I'll take the fire and the fury
Before I choose to crawl
If heaven's weighing every step
Then let it hear me call
May God have mercy on my enemies
'Cause I won't at all
