This Land We Keep

Oh, what a day
Sittin’ on this porch swing
After workin’ the ranch
Helpin’ dad with everything
He lights a marlboro
I join him with some whiskey
Watchin’ the stars come out
As twilight paints the sky pretty
We’re happy with the simple things
We love the life we’ve got
Holdin’ tight to what is good
Buildin’ futures on this spot

Me and my dad
This land we keep
Our family
Our values deep

Freedom is priceless
Don’t you ever let it go
I learned that from my old man
It’s something you oughta know
Safety’s what we work for
Happiness is what we seek
But freedom’s what we live for
It’s the root beneath our feet
We’re happy with the simple things
We love the life we’ve got
Holdin’ tight to what is good
Buildin’ futures on this spot

Me and my dad
This land we keep
Our family
Our values deep

This is America
Land of the free
Where the founding fathers
Paved the way for you and me
The first gives us our voices
To speak what’s on our minds
The second keeps us standing tall
Protectin’ what’s rightfully mine
We’re happy with the simple things
We love the life we’ve got
Holdin’ tight to what is good
Buildin’ futures on this spot

Me and my dad
This land we keep
Our family
Our values deep
