America Will Survive (Studio Version)

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

Yeah we have toughed it out a time or two

These are darks days but we're gonna pull through

We grow good old 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 were 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 and we say ma'am

If they don't like that, we give less than a damn

We're from North Carolina 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
