[Verse 1]
Dust on our boots
Strange town on the gate
Three farmhand brothers
Trying to show up on time, never late
Willem on the tractor
Jan Hendrik in the rows
Donovan loading trailers
Chasing daylight as it goes
[Pre-Chorus]
We didn’t know the language
But we knew how to work
Sunburnt shoulders laughing
Through the sweat and the dirt
[Chorus]
Me and my brothers and Buddy on the back road (hey!)
Four hearts rolling where the wild wind blows
Foreign fields, but it feels like home
When we’re riding in a line down that red dirt road
Three hard heads and a wagging tail
If one of us stumbles, the rest won’t fail
Me and my brothers and Buddy on the back road
Yeah, that’s all we’ll ever need
[Verse 2]
Found him by the silo
Skin and bone, scared eyes
Donovan tossed a sandwich
Buddy howled at the skies
Now he sleeps by the doorway
Follows us to the dam
Chasing birds and old truck tires
Guarding everything we am
[Pre-Chorus]
We still miss our hometown
But we ain’t alone out here
We got calloused hands, this borrowed land
And that dog that keeps us near
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Willem starts singing, off-key, too loud
Jan Hendrik’s cursing, then we’re all cracking up proud
Donovan’s driving, steering with one hand
Buddy’s head out the window, king of this land
[low vocal register] We don’t know the future
But we know this scene
Three brothers, one stray
Building up a brand-new dream
[Chorus]
