America Will Survive

歌詞

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 now we're together from the country to town We live back in the woods, y'see Big city problems never bothered me But now the world has changed and so have I And America can survive America will survive We could plow our fields all day long We could 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, we say "ma'am" If you 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 could hit back, and we're gonna be fine 'Cause this ol' country can survive America can survive Yeah I had a good friend in New York City Never called me 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 scuffling 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 survive
