Throughout the hard times We had to survive We stuck together side by side Were from a small town We never backed down We always helped each other out On these dirt roads We grew up strong This world that I've known So proud of where I'm from Yeah There they go again War mongering The bullets on their way Nowhere to go Just run away from here The cities burned today Great grand father worked himself to d**h It all got stolen away Nothing left for us to look back upon Realized we couldn't stay On these dirt roads We grew up strong The land that we've known Made us who we are Now we made it to the promised land To put the past behind First generation cast out immigrants We struggled to survive From english cla**, went straight to work To build this brand new life They didn't like my accent or how I looked It's how I learned to fight On these dirt roads We grew up strong The land that we've known Made us who we are And now that we're gone And live so very far I'm still a smalltown hardcore refugee So proud of where I'm from She put her hands out in front of me Said don't go far away Where is this place I call home This land I came from Or the life I have today We worked so hard and we thrived In our new land of the free We did our best to survive I'm never home My duality Wherever you may go Don't forget where you are from On these dirt roads We grew up strong The land that we've known Made us who we are And now that we're gone And live so very far I'm still a smalltown hardcore refugee So proud of where I'm from
