In their latest release, the Moonshine Bandits drop a fiery, unapologetic anthem with “Colors Don’t Run,” featuring the unmistakable voice of Lara Trump. This track is more than just a song—it’s a declaration of unwavering patriotism and resistance against any force that threatens American freedoms.
The lyrics hit hard, opening with a defiant stance: “Don’t let ‘em take / No more of our freedoms from us every day.” The Moonshine Bandits make it clear that this is a battle cry for those who refuse to back down. The chorus, with its powerful repetition of “These colors don’t run / And neither do I,” echoes a deep-rooted pride in American values and a commitment to defending them at all costs.
The gritty guitars and heavy programming provide a fitting backdrop to the song’s militant tone, while Lara Trump’s vocals add a sharp, commanding presence. Backing vocals from Jennifer James further amplify the anthem’s powerful message.
The song was written by an all-star team including Brad Cox, Brett Brooks, Chris Wallin, Dusty Gahlgren, and Ira Dean, with Chris Wallin—head of A&R and executive partner at Baste Records—playing a key role in crafting its impactful message.
One of the most striking verses captures the sense of urgency and resistance: “Scrolling through the news / Anxiety it starts to hit me / Bible by my pistol / Pistol by my whiskey.” The imagery is vivid and unapologetic, reflecting the growing frustration with the current political climate.
