00:30The Dash and a rifle in the rack
00:31Ain't just dirt under our nails
00:34It's the past on our backs
00:37I saw the light through the dust and haze
00:40Back porch prayers and a smoky blaze
00:43Baptized in a bottle and a backwards song
00:46Where right feels right and wrong stays gone
00:49There's blood in the clay
00:51Roots too deep to sway
00:54The devil might have passed
00:57But he never stayed
00:58This is blood in the clay
01:02Granny's cross still swings on the rear view glass
01:10And granddad's ghost walks the fields we've passed
01:13We don't own much but what we've got we hold
01:16You can't price a soul or buy land that's sold
01:19We break the ground and break some bread
01:22Say a few words for the ones long dead and raise a toast
01:26To the ones who fight for every acre bathed in golden light
01:30I saw the light through the dust and haze
01:36Back porch prayers and a smoky blaze
01:38Baptized in a bottle and a backwards song
01:41Where right feels right and wrong stays gone
01:44There's blood in the clay
01:46Roots too deep to sway
01:50The devil might have passed
01:52But he never stayed
01:54This is blood in the clay
01:57Some call it nowhere
02:03Some call it old
02:05But it's heaven's gate
02:06When the nights turn cold
02:08The thunder rolls
02:09And the cattle cry
02:10But the Lord still hears
02:12A small town sigh
02:15I saw the light through the dust and haze
02:19Back porch prayers and a smoky blaze
02:22Baptized in a bottle and a backwards song
02:25Where right feels right and wrong stays gone
02:28There's blood in the clay
02:30Roots too deep to sway
02:33The devil might have passed
02:36But he never stayed
02:37This is blood in the clay
02:40Don't matter the name
02:44That they carve on me
02:45Just plant me deep
02:47Where the wild runs free
02:48Six feet down
02:50I'll finally stay
02:51Still singing songs
02:53In the blood red clay
02:54This is blood in the clay
02:57Yeah
