Lyricsthat's what we call a songYves Stilmant © 2025 Verse 1A We sang about some rebel roads Moonshine girls and hillbilly codes A redneck bone, a Gibson hum And firelight where we come from Verse 1B We've chased down ghosts, we've lit the skies Built songs from truth and whiskey lies Some made you cry, some made you grin Some made you want to sin again Pre-Chorus Every verse we bled was real Every line, a wound that healed Every word we screamed or sighed Still echoes deep inside Chorus That's what we call a song, my friend Where the heartbreak starts and the truth won't end It's a fist in the sky, it's boots in mud It's a six-string soul and a red-hot flood We laughed, we roared, we tore it down With a rebel chord in a small town sound If you feel it hard and you sing it strong -- Hell yeah, that's what we call a song Verse 2A We rode with Clyde and one-tooth Buck Built ballads outta bad old luck Told stories 'bout the Duke and pain And how we rise up through the rain Verse 2B From Bridget's song to Bodie's ghost To fathers' hands we miss the most Every track a piece of us From soft piano to outlaw dust Pre-Chorus Every beat we've laid with pride Is a battle cry that won't hide You can bet when lights are gone This stage still sings along Chorus That's what we call a song, my friend Where the heartbreak starts and the truth won't end It's a fist in the sky, it's boots in mud It's a six-string soul and a red-hot flood We laughed, we roared, we tore it down With a rebel chord in a small town sound If you feel it hard and you sing it strong -- Hell yeah, that's what we call a song Bridge (chant-style, gang vocal) Raise your voice -- for every track We ain't ever lookin' back Country, rock, or hillbilly wrong -- We were born to write these songs Final Chorus (Double Chorus with Drop & Lift) That's what we call a song, my friend Where the heartbreak starts and the truth won't end It's a fist in the sky, it's boots in mud It's a six-string soul and a red-hot flood We laughed, we roared, we tore it down With a rebel chord in a small town sound If you feel it hard and you sing it strong -- Hell yeah, that's what we call a song Tag: So crank it loud, and sing along -- You know damn well, that's what we call a song |
