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
