Lyrics
We've owned this farm
Since my grandad was a boy
We've plowed these fields since 1910
That big old house sittin' up upon the hill
Was built by Pa and all his kin
There ain't no stealin'
No killin' in these woods
My kids can go outside alone to play
I love this land
And I love my country too
Ain't gonna let 'em sell it all away
We were born inside that big ol' house
Built in 1917
That big ol' oak with the tire swingin' free
My Grandpa's buried 'neath that tree
There ain't no stealin'
No killin' in these woods
My kids can go outside alone to play
I love this land
And I love my country too
Ain't gonna let 'em sell it all away
Ain't gonna take this farm away
I'm gonna live here till I die
America is where this land 'll stay
And over these hills
The Stars and Stripe will fly!
Well come last spring
A man came from the bank
Wantin' me to sell the farm to Japanese
Said the land was worth less than they would pay
So I just left them jives
Jawin' to the breeze
There ain't no stealin'
No killin' in these woods
My kids can go outside alone to play
I love this land
And I love my country too
Ain't gonna let 'em sell it all away
Ain't gonna take this farm away
I'm gonna live here till I die
America is where this land 'll stay
And over those hills
My REBEL flag will fly
Since my grandad was a boy
We've plowed these fields since 1910
That big old house sittin' up upon the hill
Was built by Pa and all his kin
There ain't no stealin'
No killin' in these woods
My kids can go outside alone to play
I love this land
And I love my country too
Ain't gonna let 'em sell it all away
We were born inside that big ol' house
Built in 1917
That big ol' oak with the tire swingin' free
My Grandpa's buried 'neath that tree
There ain't no stealin'
No killin' in these woods
My kids can go outside alone to play
I love this land
And I love my country too
Ain't gonna let 'em sell it all away
Ain't gonna take this farm away
I'm gonna live here till I die
America is where this land 'll stay
And over these hills
The Stars and Stripe will fly!
Well come last spring
A man came from the bank
Wantin' me to sell the farm to Japanese
Said the land was worth less than they would pay
So I just left them jives
Jawin' to the breeze
There ain't no stealin'
No killin' in these woods
My kids can go outside alone to play
I love this land
And I love my country too
Ain't gonna let 'em sell it all away
Ain't gonna take this farm away
I'm gonna live here till I die
America is where this land 'll stay
And over those hills
My REBEL flag will fly
