They Say

Get Enough

Fight With Misery

LYRICS
Jimmy signed his name at seventeen, said he’d beat the system clean
Walked into that office of his own free will
While I stayed home, waiting for my number's call
Figured if they wanted me, they'd have to come and get me still
Mama cried the same tears twice that year
But Jimmy said “Don't worry, Mama, they don’t ship off boys that volunteer”

Now I'm drinking German beer while my brother counts the days
Writing letters I can't send fast enough to chase the fears away
He thought he'd found the answer, I hoped I'd avoid the curse
Funny how the world spins backwards when you think you know it first

They saw these greasy hands could fix what others broke
Sent me to a motor pool with nothing there to fight
Jimmy got a rifle and a one-way ticket to the heat
Where country boys learned to move without the light
I met Kathy at a U.S.O. dance, her English sweet and slow
Jimmy met the monsoon in a place no one should ever know

Now I'm drinking German beer while my brother pays and pays
Writing letters full of nothing that give back what they took away
He thought he'd found the answer, I hoped I'd avoid the curse
Funny how the world spins backwards when you think you know it first

A lifetime has passed since Jimmy made it home
He don't talk about the Delta or the names he used to know
I'm still with Kathy, a blessed life mine by chance
How a coward's hesitation became my lucky dance
We sit on Dad's porch in silence, share a bottle and the view
Two brothers who went to war, only one made it through

He still flinches at the thunder
I still feel the weight of luck I didn't earn
Some choices ain't really choices
Can't cheat fate, can't avoid your turn

Jimmy signed his name at seventeen
I waited for the letter
He was trying to be smart
Neither one knew better

LYRICS

(Verse 1)
In a world that keeps on changing,
Where silence knows no bounds,
One man raised his voice above it,
And refused to be pushed down.
Truth is heavy when it’s spoken,
But he carried it with grace,
Every word was like a lantern,
Shining light in darker days.

(Chorus)
Here’s to his courage, here’s to his fight,
To standing tall in the fading light.
Life can vanish in the blink of ones eye,
But a soul lives on, though the body dies.
We’ll remember the fire, we’ll remember the spark,
The ballad of a voice unafraid in the dark.

(Verse 2)
We build our days like houses,
Never knowing when they'll fall,
But the echo of the truth he spoke
Will outlast fragile walls.
In the quiet of the evening,
Where the world feels torn apart,
We’ll hear Gods words like thunder,
Rolling deep inside our hearts.

(Chorus)
Here’s to the courage, here’s to the fight,
To standing tall in the fading light.
Life can vanish in the blink of an eye,
But a soul lives on, though the body dies.
We’ll remember the fire, we’ll remember the spark,
A man and a voice unafraid in the dark.

(Bridge)

Oh, Society may steal his breath away,
But it can’t take the truth he spoke.
And the God he spoke of, is on the way,
And his words that will ring true.

(Final Chorus)
Here’s to the courage, here’s to the fight,
To standing tall in the fading light.
HIs Life was taken in a blink of an eye,
But his soul lives on, though the body dies.
We’ll remember his fire, we’ll remember his spark,
A man and a voice unafraid in the dark.

(Spoken)
Charlie Kirk..., A man with a voice, unafraid in the dark.

Voice Unafraid (Charlie Kirk Tribute)

This song is a smile at the human condition. No matter how much we think we agree, we’ll always find something to argue about it’s just human nature. One person says “Amen,” another says “cheers,” and somehow both are right. We fight about pie flavors, forget our keys, lose our way, and still come back to laughter and love.

Funny Thing About People isn’t about pointing fingers it’s about holding up a mirror with a grin. It’s humility in melody: a reminder that our quirks, our stumbles, and even our disagreements are what make us human. And maybe, if we can laugh at ourselves, we’ll remember we still belong to each other.

[Verse 1]
Get a room full of dreamers, they’ll all want the mic
Get a church full of singers, they won’t sing alike
Put ten cooks in a kitchen, watch ‘em all collide
Each one swears the recipe is on their side

[Chorus]
Funny thing about people—
We’ll argue ‘bout the color of the sky.
Swear we’ve got the same ideals
But we’ll never see eye to eye
Still we laugh, still we love, still we carry on
That’s the joke, and that’s the song

[Verse 2]
Some folks kneel in silence, some dance in the aisle
Some shake hands politely, some hug with a smile
One side says “Amen,” another says Cheers
But we all still cry the same salty tears

[Chorus]
Funny thing about people
We can’t even choose one kind of pie
Swear we’re all in the same tribe
But the punchline don’t comply
Still we laugh, still we love, still we stumble on
That’s the joke, and that’s the song

[Bridge]
It’s human nature, plain as day
To fight about the rules to the game we play
But if you look past the fuss, the dust, the crowd
We’re more alike than we’ll ever say out loud

[Final Chorus]
Funny thing about people
We can’t agree, but we still belong
Raise a glass to the mess of us
Perfect in our imperfection all along
Still we laugh, still we love, still we sing along
That’s the joke… and that’s the song

[Outro – Spoken, smiling]
And tomorrow we’ll argue all over again

Funny Thing about People

Back Against the Wall is an outlaw-country record built on grit, scars, and resilience. It’s the story of holding on when the world tries to break you — of finding freedom in dirt roads, family, memory, and truth, even when the weight of survival presses hard.

The album opens with “Dirt Roads and Dogs”, a free-spirited escape into the country soul, before diving into the raw defiance of “Frankly, I Don’t Give a Damn.” Tracks like “Sunday Porchlight” and “The Sky Remembers” provide heart and reflection, anchoring the record in stories of grace and memory. “We Were Soldiers Too” serves as its haunting tribute, honoring sacrifice and courage with reverence.

The title track “Back Against the Wall” and “The Last Free Thinker” drive the album’s rebellious core, confronting modern struggles and the cost of survival with unflinching honesty. To balance the fire, “Pickin’ Trouble” delivers rowdy bluegrass energy, while “Let ’Em Be Kids” strips back the noise to remind us what’s worth protecting.

Together, these songs form a litany of truth: that even in chaos and collapse, there’s defiance, there’s love, and there’s still something worth standing for. Back Against the Wall is not just an album — it’s an outlaw hymnbook for hard times.
