Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I was cut from a field dat don't grow no gold
Clay in my hand, snake in de hold
Grandpere taught me how a man stand tall
Not in de pulpit, but in de crawl
We don't beg, we don't bend de knee
We work de land till de land set free
Busted back, bloody knuckle grip
Honor don't shine, it drip
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dey laugh at de boots with de mud so thick
Dey laugh cause we ain't got de city slick
Let 'em laugh while dey count de green
We got somethin' dey never seen
[Chorus 1]
Dere's honor in dirt, where de bare feet bleed
Honor in dirt, where de poor man feed
Ain't no dollar make a man complete
Dere's honor in dirt, down at my feet
Honor in dirt!
[Verse 2]
I seen rich man buy a cross of chrome
Pray on Sunday, then steal a home
I seen preacher sell a holy cure
While my people starve and stay poor
We don't pray for a easy ride
We pray de levee hold de tide
We pray de pump don't quit at three
Dat's de kind of man you make of me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dey build de church with a silver spire
We build a house with balin' wire
One gon' fall when de storm gon' hit
One gon' stand in de pit
[Chorus 2]
Dere's honor in dirt, where de bare feet bleed
Honor in dirt, where de poor man feed
Ain't no dollar make a man complete
Dere's honor in dirt, down at my feet
Honor in dirt!
[Verse 3]
Twenty years diggin' ditch and grave
Every inch took what de swamp gave
Lost kinfolk to de flood and fight
Buried 'em deep in de same red night
Daddy's marker by de oak gone grey
Momma's rose still by de clay
Dey told me son, keep dat ground
Cause dat's de only truth you found
[Bridge]
I DON'T NEED GOLD! I DON'T NEED PRAISE!
I GOT DE SCARS FROM MY WORKIN' DAYS!
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR SUIT! KEEP YOUR THRONE!
I FOUND MY HEAVEN IN DIS STONE!
[Verse 4]
Now I'm back where de tractor rust
Where de wind blow bone and dust
City boy offer cash for my acre
Say boy, sell it now, be a paper maker
I told him nah, you don't understand
You can't buy blood, you can't buy land
You can't buy de ones sleepin' deep
You can't buy de promise I keep
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Let de river rise, let de sky turn black
I still stand where my kinfolk at
No deed gon' change what I know
De dirt done claimed my soul
[Final Chorus]
Dere's honor in dirt, where de bare feet bleed
Honor in dirt, where de poor man feed
Ain't no dollar make a man complete
Dere's honor in dirt, down at my feet
Dere's honor in dirt, where my kinfolk sleep
Honor in dirt, dis promise I keep
Honor in dirt!
