[Verse]
Out on the back 40 where the wild grass grows
Dust on my boots and a story it knows
Sky burns red like a fire in the west
Chasing down shadows where the sun takes its rest
[Prechorus]
Fences fall but the wind don't care
Echoes of freedom ride the cool night air
[Chorus]
This is the back 40 where we run
Where we roam
The dirt's in our veins and the stars guide us home
No map no plan just the beat of the land
This is the back 40 and it’s ours to command
[Verse 2]
Moonlight’s a spotlight on a creek-bed stage
The coyotes howl like they're tearing a page
Whiskey on the tongue with a bitter sweet bite
Truth in the bottle it’s a long kind of night
[Bridge]
Steel strings hum with the crackle of fire
808s thump like a pulse that won't tire
Outlaws in the dark carving dreams from the dirt
We’re the kings of the backwoods for whatever it's worth
[Chorus]
This is the back 40 where we run
Where we roam
The dirt's in our veins and the stars guide us home
No map no plan just the beat of the land
This is the back 40 and it’s ours to command
