Co-written by Tyler Farr, Dallas Davidson, and Houston Phillips, “Why We Live Here” is the final song on Farr’s second studio album, Suffer in Peace, released in April, 2015.
Got an alright house and a pretty nice yard
A screen door dog that stays on guard
Got a buddy up the road that’s got my back
‘Round here it ain’t hard to find folks like that
Got a gun and a Bible by my bed
Try to live by the words in red
I ain't got a lot but I got enough
By God I believe in God we trust
That’s why, why we live here
Damn right we ain’t going anywhere
Home of the brave, baseball, and cold beer
It’s pretty clear
That’s why we live here
Right now there’s a man serving overseas
Seeing things he wished he didn’t see
Picture of his wife tucked in his vest
Fighting a fight we ain’t finished yet
That’s why, why we live here
Damn right we ain’t going anywhere
Home of the brave, baseball, and cold beer
It’s pretty clear
That’s why we live here, yeah
Whether your road is dirt or paved
Red, white, and blue, we’re all the same
That’s why, why we live here
You damn right we ain’t going anywhere
Home of the brave, baseball, and ice cold beer
It’s pretty clear
That’s why we live here
