homeland

there's a piece of prairie with a white picket gate

the geographic center of the lower forty-eight

how long it's been in our family is anybody's guess

we were riding these plains before the pony express

there's a sycamore tree all splintered and brown

well

it used to touch the sky

'til the twister came around

it's got this one green branch pointing in the air

yeah

it's still hanging on

just like the people 'round here

you can hold back the rain

bring on the wind

knock us right down

we'll get up again

we've dug in deep

made our stand

this is our homeland

i can feel their spirit deep in my bones

up on the hill

we carved it in stone

been a long line before us and little ones to come

yeah

it's a family thing that we're carrying on

you can hold back the rain

bring on the wind

knock us right down

we'll get up again

we've dug in deep

made our stand

this is our homeland

we've dug in deep

we've made our stand

this is our homeland

this is our homeland

this is our home

this is our homeland

this is our homeland

this is our homeland
