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
