As the Sun goes down on this small town, and the stars fill up the sky
You can hear the wind whispering her songs of the ghosts before our time
You see we've been blessed by their blood and sweat, for that we're grateful for
So when the lights go down on this one horse town, time to settle up the score

The legend goes that the dark horse rides on
Rising up from the dirt once again
We ain't playing, you heard what I said
There ain't no backing down
We ain't playing, you heard what I said
Ain't no backing down

This town's got guts and glory, 'cause our legends never die
And on a moonlit night when the stars shine bright you can see 'em up in the sky
This land it holds our stories and she holds them without fear
Until the time comes 'round when they lay me down in this dirt for a thousand years

Legend goes that the dark horse rides on
Rising up from the dirt once again
We ain't playing, you heard what I said
There ain't no backing down
We ain't playing, you heard what I said
Ain't no backing down

The warm winds blow in the valley as the storm clouds come to pass
And the Sun rains down all across our land while our children grow like grass
Someday we'll just be memories, stories carried down
Of the marks we made and the plots we laid in our dusty fabled town

The legend goes that the dark horse rides on
Rising up from the dirt once again
We ain't playing, you heard what I said
There ain't no backing down
We ain't playing, you heard what I said
Ain't no backing down
