Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They said grow up Get a haircut Clock in Learn to fake a smile Shake hands at the Sunday service Buy a house Stay awhile You lit a smoke in your wedding dress Laughed so hard you smeared your eyes Kicked those heels off in the parking lot Said "Baby Let's drive" [Chorus] We ain't like them We ain't like us They drew that line We kicked up dust They want quiet We want loud We don't blend in with that crowd We ain't like them We ain't like us Wrong side of their righteous trust If this is all just hit or miss I'd rather lose it all than live like this (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Your mama prays for my salvation My daddy thinks I'm past repair We got backyard gossip on the FM Every small town mouth out there But your hand finds mine at the red light Middle finger on the steering wheel If they call this some lost cause love Guess losing you would be my hell to heal [Chorus] We ain't like them We ain't like us They drew that line We kicked up dust They want quiet We want loud We don't blend in with that crowd We ain't like them We ain't like us Wrong side of their righteous trust If this is all just hit or miss I'd rather lose it all than live like this [Bridge] Let 'em talk Let 'em point from their porches Let 'em choke on their good old days We got scars We got backseat torches Burning through their picture-perfect frame (hey!) [Chorus] We ain't like them We ain't like us They drew that line We kicked up dust They want quiet We want loud We don't blend in with that crowd We ain't like them We ain't like us Wrong side of their righteous trust If this is wrong Then so be it I'd rather die this way than barely live (oh-oh)

rock, Late-90s alt-country meets modern pop country: gritty electric guitars over a moody, steady groove and subtle 808 low-end. Male vocals, dry and up-front in the verses; choruses bloom with stacked harmonies, wide guitars, and a big anthemic hook. Snare snaps, tambourine on the last chorus, and a singalong outro built for arena lights and barroom shouts., male vocals, moody, country, electric, country rock, alternative country, pop
