Fans of the popular game Farcry 5 will know this song as one of the most popular, and so I couldn't help the urge to integrate it into the lore of the Second Civil War. This song is reimagined as a song of the Rocky Mountain Border Corps, a Multi-State Bloc Military that guards the mountain passes of the Cascades and Sierra Nevadas to keep migrants from the starving metropolises of California and the Pacific Northwest from crossing into the Heartland States. As always, Lyrics Below!
Lyrics:
We'll look high and We'll look low,
We'll look everywhere we go,
And soon the looter’s will know they can’t hide.
‘Cause they’ll come loud and they'll come fast,
But we’ll shoot first so we can last.
Keep your rifle by your side.
Singing, "Oh, Lord, they just won’t stay away"
Singing, "Oh, Lord, for this I won’t need pay."
So we'll take a stand,
Because we must protect our lands.
Keep your rifle by your side.
They'll come day and they'll come night,
They'll have our children in their sights,
So we’ll stand guard in e’er pass from North to South.
Oh they can scream and they can shout,
But they can never push us out.
Keep your rifle by your side.
Singing, "Oh, Lord, they just won’t stay away"
Singing, "Oh, Lord, for this I won’t need pay."
So we'll take a stand,
Because we must protect our lands.
Keep your rifle by your side.
They'll have bombs and they'll have tanks,
'Cause they've got funding from the banks,
But we won't fall as long as we can fight.
They'll go on and say we hate,
But they won't get past the gate
Keep your rifle by your side.
Singing, "Oh, Lord, they just won’t stay away"
Singing, "Oh, Lord, for this I won’t need pay."
So we'll take a stand,
Because we must protect our lands.
Keep your rifle by your side.
We have allies in the East,
from the Great Plains to Tennessee,
They help us hold with all we do need,
But from the West come another wave,
From Red San Fran or Burned LA
So Keep your rifle by your side.
Singing, "Oh, Lord, they just won’t stay away"
Singing, "Oh, Lord, for this I won’t need pay."
When I see their face
I know I must protect my place.
I'll keep my rifle by my side.
Singing, "Oh, Lord, they just won’t stay away"
Singing, "Oh, Lord, for this I won’t need pay."
When I see their face
I know I must protect my place.
I'll keep my rifle by my side.
Keep my rifle by my side.
Keep your rifle by your side.
