America Will Survive - Studio Version

Lyrics

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 you 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 can plow our fields all day long
 We can catch our fish from dusk till dawn
 Yea we have toughed it out a time or two
 These are dark days but we're gonna pull through
 We grow good ole 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 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 can hit back and we're gonna be fine
 'Cause this old country can survive
 America can survive
 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
 Because 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 you don't like that, we give less than a damn
 We're from North Carolina and South labam'
 And all they've done is unite the whole land
 There's no more Yankess and Rebels this time
 But one united people that stand behind
 America can survive
 America will survive
 America can survive
 America is gonna survive
