Ain’t No Easy South

[Verse 1]
Ain’t no crown in my closet, just a calloused hand
I was raised by a Bible and a diesel can
Mama worked nights, Daddy broke his back
We prayed for rain and paid in lack

[Chorus]
This ain’t no easy South, it’s fire and grit
Where we stand our ground and don’t quit
Ain’t about flags or fake parade smiles
It’s barbed wire love and goin' that extra mile
We bleed, we sweat, we bury our kin proud
That’s what it means to walk this ground—
In the ain't no easy South

[Verse 2]
Torn jeans and steel-toe boots
We sing our stories, not just salute
The field's gone dry, the money's thin
But we still rise and we still dig in

[Chorus]
This ain’t no easy South, it’s fire and grit
Where we stand our ground and don’t quit
Ain’t about flags or fake parade smiles
It’s barbed wire love and goin' that extra mile
We bleed, we sweat, we bury our kin proud
That’s what it means to walk this ground—
In the ain't no easy South

[Bridge]
You want pride? It’s in the pain we hold
Not in silver, but in weathered gold
We ain’t loud, we just live out loud
Shoulders square, heads never bowed

[Final Chorus]
This ain’t no easy South, it’s earned and worn
Every heartache, every thorn
Ain’t about fightin’ just to prove who's right
It's holdin' your brother through the night
We break, we mend, and we say it out loud—
There ain’t no easy South
