**Flatlander Man (Brazos River Song)**

**[Verse 1]**

Down by the Brazos, where the flatlanders stand,

Scars in the soil, tales carved by hand,

Laughter in the dirt, memories run deep,

Stories of the land that history keeps.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Past, present, future — you can see,

In the river's flow, in the land’s decree,

You know where you're going, long before you arrive,

The spirit of the Brazos keeps hope alive.

**[Chorus]**

From the straight line from A to B,

You’re followin’ a path that’s wild and free,

Arms of God, holdin’ us tight,

Brazos River, shining bright.

Goodbye to the water that gave us our song,

We drove those dirt roads all along,

Remember the scars, the soil, the tears,

Legacy flows through the years.

**[Verse 2]**

Dirt roads and cowboys, under the Texas sky,

Legends and dreams, never say die,

1836, a fight held strong,

Independence ringing, in that river’s song.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Past, present, future — you can see,

In the river’s flow, in the land’s decree,

You know where you're going, long before you arrive,

The spirit of the Brazos keeps hope alive.

**[Chorus]**

From the straight line from A to B,

You’re followin’ a path that’s wild and free,

Arms of God, holdin’ us tight,

Brazos River, shining bright.

Goodbye to the water that gave us our song,

We drove those dirt roads all along,

Remember the scars, the soil, the tears,

Legacy flows through the years.

**[Bridge]**

And I remember the plains, the open skies,

Each ripple a story, each tear a disguise,

But the river’s still rollin’, its voice a prayer,

A witness to freedom, beyond all compare.

**[Outro]**

Flatlander man, with the past in your hand,

Raise your voice, make a stand,

The Brazos flows on, as long as we believe,

In the soil, in the scars, in the dreams we weave.
