People think we're nearing the end of time But we've had enough and we've drawn the line Our flag is up since our people went down And we're together from the country to town
We live back in the woods you use Big city problems never bothered me But now the world has changed and so have I And America can survive, America will survive!
We can plow our fields all day long We can catch our fish from dusk 'til dawn Yeah, we have toughed it out a time or two These are dark days but we're gonna pull through
We grow good ol' tomatoes, we got hometown pride America can survive, America is gonna survive
'Cause you can't scare us out, you can't make us run What we got here is freedom and fun We say grace and we say "ma'am" If they don't like that, we don't give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coal mines The Rocky Mountains and the big city skylines Hey, we can hit back and we're gonna be fine 'Cause this ol' country can survive, America can survive
I had a good friend in New York City Never called Hank, he called me hillbilly My grandpa taught me how to live off the land And his taught him to be a street-smart man
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway lights And I'd send him some of that homemade scufflin' wine
He was lost like so many in the terrible strife And we're all asking God, now why? Oh why? I read, "A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye" And that's an old slogan we're gonna revive 'Cause America can survive, America will survive
'Cause you can't scare us out, you can't make us run We're them boys and girls that have freedom and fun We say grace, we say "ma'am" If they don't like that, we give less than a damn
We're from North California and South Alabam' And all they've done is unite the whole land There's no more Yankees and Rebels this time But one united people that stand behind America can survive, America will survive America can survive, America is gonna surviveTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
