"Son Of America" Lyrics

words & music by Bob Corbin
pub. by Sabal Music Inc. (ASCAP)
You can ride the roads from Chicago to New Orleans
And all points in between
California to the coast of Maine
And Florida keys to the western plains
And I'll be there around every corner
(Chorus)
I'm a son of America, child of the heart land
And I know where my heart lies now
Where it's always been
I'm a son of America, child of the heart land
And when I die lay me down
Deep in my homeland

I work in the mill, I work in the shop
I ride the range, I stand alone in the rain at a lonely crossroads
I live in the city, I live on the farm I raise a family, I live alone
With my dreams, they're all my own
Like others before me I make my living with my hands
I've been right and I've been wrong
But when the feelin's strong
You know I'll take a stand
(Chorus)
I'm a son of America, child of the heart land
And when I die lay me down
Deep in my homeland
