LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Coffee’s gone cold on the counter
News on the TV turned low
Name after name from this small place
Folks that everybody knows
Hard hats lined up on the table
Bootprints still fresh in the hall
Someone just left here this morning
Now their truck’s parked for good by the wall

[Chorus]
Tumbler Ridge town, we’re holdin’ on now
When the ground gives way, we don’t fall somehow
We light a candle in every dark window around
Call their names out loud
That’s how we’re standin’ our ground
In Tumbler Ridge town (ohh Tumbler Ridge town)

[Verse 2]
The siren cut straight through the valley
Church bell rang out off the pines
High-vis coats in the headlights
Dust in the cold evening sky
Mamas all clutchin’ their cell phones
Daddies just starin’ at dirt
Tryin’ to read God in the shale lines
Tryin’ to find reason in hurt

[Chorus]
Tumbler Ridge town, we’re holdin’ on now
When the ground gives way, we don’t fall somehow
We light a candle in every dark window around
Call their names out loud
That’s how we’re standin’ our ground
In Tumbler Ridge town (ohh Tumbler Ridge town)

[Bridge]
We’ll hang their coats in the foyer
Leave their cups by the sink
Tell their jokes at the bonfire
Say their names when we drink
Every sunrise on that ridgeline
Every slow freight rollin’ through
Carries a piece of their story
Carries a promise we’ll keep too

[Chorus]
Tumbler Ridge town, we’re holdin’ on now
When the ground gives way, we don’t fall somehow
We light a candle in every dark window around
Call their names out loud
That’s how we’re standin’ our ground
In Tumbler Ridge town
Yeah, that’s how we’re standin’ our ground
In Tumbler Ridge town (ohh Tumbler Ridge town)
