Legacy in the Dust Lyrics

Out on the plains, where the sun beats down

He's got dirt on his boots, and roots in the ground

With calloused hands and a heart of gold

He's livin' a story that's yet to be told

He wakes with the dawn, works till the dusk

Pride in his blood, never losing his trust

The sweat on his brow tells a tale so true

It's the life that he knows, the life that he'll choose

He's the legacy in the dust, standin' tall in the storm

Holdin' on to the land where his granddaddy was born

With a spirit unbroken, no matter how rough

He's the heart of the land, he's more than enough

Fields stretchin' far as the eye can see

He plants the seeds for the ones to be free

Through hail and drought, come what may

He stands like an oak, come rain or come gray

His hands have scars, and his bones feel the ache

But he'll keep on goin', for the family's sake

It's not just the land, it's his blood and his bones

The sweat of his labor, the pride of his home

He's the legacy in the dust, standin' tall in the storm

Holdin' on to the land where his granddaddy was born

With a spirit unbroken, no matter how rough

He's the heart of the land, he's more than enough

So raise a glass to the ones who stay

Who live for tomorrow while workin' today

They're more than the dirt, they're the soul of the earth

Keepin' alive what it's really worth

He's the legacy in the dust, standin' tall in the storm

Holdin' on to the land where his granddaddy was born

With a spirit unbroken, no matter how rough

He's the heart of the land, he's more than enough

Yeah, he's more than enough

The heart of the land, standin' tough

He's the legacy, he's the dust

In him we believe, in him we trust
