Country rock
[Verse 1] Dust on the highway, miles behind my wheels Coming back to where the old stories feel real Seven twenty six carved in the oak out back Where we made our promises, never lost track Bagpipes calling over the ridge tonight Banjo strings humming in the fading light [Pre-Chorus ] Can you hear it? That thunder roll Every brother, every sister coming home [Chorus ] Seven twenty six, we're standing here again Raise your glass to the ones who've always been Through the fire and the flood, through the bitter and the sweet We're the sound of the bagpipe and the banjo beat Seven twenty six, this ground remembers when We swore we'd find our way back here again [Verse 2] Photographs fading but the faces stay clear Laughter lines deeper than they were last year Same old campfire, different shades of grey But the songs we're singing haven't changed their way Drums are pounding like our hearts back then When we didn't know how good we had it, friend [Pre-Chorus ] Can you feel it? That ancient call Every memory rising, we remember it all [Chorus ] Seven twenty six, we're standing here again Raise your glass to the ones who've always been Through the fire and the flood, through the bitter and the sweet We're the sound of the bagpipe and the banjo beat Seven twenty six, this ground remembers when We swore we'd find our way back here again [Bridge ] Let the pipes wail over mountain stone Let the banjo cry, we're never alone Kick the drum until the valley shakes This is the noise that a family makes We built this with our calloused hands Now we're dancing on our promised land [Chorus ] Seven twenty six, we're standing here again Raise your glass to the ones who've always been Through the fire and the flood, through the bitter and the sweet We're the sound of the bagpipe and the banjo beat Seven twenty six, this ground remembers when We swore we'd find our way back here again [Outro ] Seven twenty six, the road led us back home Seven twenty six, we're never alone Seven twenty six, seven twenty six This is where our story never ends
