Lainey lights the stage,

Zach’s words cut like thunder,

(G)
In a brand-new country age.

(G)
Cody brings the outlaw,

(C)
Like Waylon used to do,

(D)
But we ain’t here to copy,

(G)
We’re building our own roads too.

(C)
We’re standing on the shoulders,

(G)
Of giants still around,

(D)
But the future’s in good hands now,

(G)
With new voices breaking ground.

(C)
We honor every legend,

(G)
But we’ve got stories new,

(D)
Not to fill their empty spaces,

(G)
But to carve our path through too.

From Kelsea’s modern ballads,

They’ve made their own debut.

We’re standing on the shoulders,

(G)
Of giants still around,

(D)
But the future’s in good hands now,

(G)
With new voices breaking ground.

(C)
We honor every legend,

(G)
But we’ve got stories new,

(D)
Not to fill their empty spaces,

(G)
But to carve our path through too.

(Em)
We’ve got roots in every riff,

(C)
And truth in every line,

(G)
The heart of country’s beating,

(D)
And it’s beating in our time.

(Em)
With echoes of the old days,

(C)
But eyes on what’s ahead,

(G)
We’re writing songs for tomorrow,

(D)
While remembering what they said.

We’re standing on the shoulders,

(G)
But we’ve got stories new,

(G)
So if you’re asking who will carry,

(C)
The torch for those we knew,

(D)
Look to the ones still rising,

(G)
’Cause country’s got a future too.
