This Land Remembers

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

The pines lean low on this backroad

My father's name carved in the fence post

Something howls past the county line

And I don't answer anymore

Pre-Chorus

The porch light hums a dying tune

The swamp is swallowing the moon

Chorus

This land remembers what we buried

This land remembers what we lost

Every acre holds a shadow

Every shadow holds a cost

This land remembers

This land remembers

Verse 2

Mama swore the well ran honest

Then the water turned to rust

My brother packed his truck at midnight

Left his boots out in the mud

Pre-Chorus

The screen door slaps against the frame

Nobody left here knows my name

Chorus

This land remembers what we buried

This land remembers what we lost

Every acre holds a shadow

Every shadow holds a cost

This land remembers

This land remembers

Guitar Solo

Bridge

I stayed

I stayed

I stayed for the roots and the rain

I stayed

I stayed

For a house that can't hold up its frame

Chorus

This land remembers what we buried

This land remembers what we lost

Every acre holds a shadow

Every shadow holds a cost

This land remembers

This land remembers
