Dust Don’t Bow to Kings

They rode with crowns and silver blades, But the dust don’t care what name it fades. The wind don’t bend for gold or ring, Dust don’t bow to any king.

Steel and time, they sound the same, Both forget the man, remember the name.

Dust don’t bow to kings, It don’t serve no blood or things. It takes what’s left and keeps it clean — Dust don’t bow to kings.

I’ve seen rich men kneel and pray, Poor men die the same old way. The crown melts quick when the stormbell rings — Dust don’t bow to kings.

Every truth I’ve tried to bring, Gets buried deep beneath the spring.

Dust don’t bow to kings, No mercy, no diamond rings. It don’t ask for who it stings — Dust don’t bow to kings.

When the road forgets your sound, You learn what lasts when you go down. You learn what never changes things — Dust don’t bow to kings.

Dust don’t bow to kings, It don’t beg, it don’t sing. When I fall, I’ll leave one thing — Dust don’t bow to kings.
