House And 90 Acres

I've got a house and 90 acres 
                 Em
some cattle in the barn
Em               C         D    
Two kids with no mama, she left 
               Em
in a saleman's arms
  C           G                   
A sign by the mailbox says there's
    C              G
 an auction in the yard
Em                  C            
Born and raised has been damn 
      D               Em
easy but lately living's hard

Em                      C        
The children miss their mama but 
            D             Em
there ain't nothing I can do
Em                      C        
If she was all I had to worry 
            D                  Em
about well I'd guess I'd miss her 
too
         C                   
But I've watched my tools and 
 G                C           
tractor leave in someone else's 
   G
hands
Em               C               
I grit my teeth, I'm let 'em go 
     D                C
but I won't give up my land

G                                 
This house and 90 acres, the only 
D
place I've left to stand
Continues after the ad
   Em                 C           
My roots are anchored solid, I 
   D               C
ain't machinery I'm a man
G                                
I'll be here in the morning come 
D
pouring rain or sun
     Em           C

Em                     C         
There's jobs up in the city I 
   D                Em
could probably drive a truck
Em                  C            
Or I could move 300 miles from 
       D                    Em
home but that would be giving up
         C                 G      
Well you know that I ain't leaving
         C               G
 if it's just my pride I save
Em                C              
I might be on the front porch or 
        D                C
I might be in a hillside grave
