Oh, what a day Sittin’ on this porch swing After workin’ the ranch Helpin’ dad with everything He lights a marlboro I join him with some whiskey Watchin’ the stars come out As twilight paints the sky pretty We’re happy with the simple things We love the life we’ve got Holdin’ tight to what is good Buildin’ futures on this spot Me and my dad This land we keep Our family Our values deep Freedom is priceless Don’t you ever let it go I learned that from my old man It’s something you oughta know Safety’s what we work for Happiness is what we seek But freedom’s what we live for It’s the root beneath our feet We’re happy with the simple things We love the life we’ve got Holdin’ tight to what is good Buildin’ futures on this spot Me and my dad This land we keep Our family Our values deep This is America Land of the free Where the founding fathers Paved the way for you and me The first gives us our voices To speak what’s on our minds The second keeps us standing tall Protectin’ what’s rightfully mine We’re happy with the simple things We love the life we’ve got Holdin’ tight to what is good Buildin’ futures on this spot Me and my dad This land we keep Our family Our values deep
