Jackson

You can clear a forest with an ax

You can swim up the mighty Mississipp'

But don't go it alone

It's not by your will that you build a home

You can reach for the stars above

But don't leave your brother bellow

Walk with him down the lonesome road

It's not his burden to bear alone

It's not by your hand

It's by grace alone

And it's not by your hand

It's by grace alone

Don't ever dance with the devil

And don't try to bargain with the lord

All you've got is your will to fight

Don't let the cowards win

You can turn in your shovel

Trade it in for a loaded gun

Plant your flag in the ground

When you find a hill worth dying on

It's not by your hand

It's by grace alone

And it's not by your hand

It's by grace alone
