House And 90 Acres

I've got a house and 90 acres some cattle in the barn

Two kids with no mama, she left in a saleman's arms

A sign by the mailbox says there's an auction in the

yard

Born and raised has been damn easy but lately living's

hard

The children miss their mama but there ain't nothing I

can do

If she was all I had to worry about well I'd guess I'd

miss her too

But I've watched my tools and tractor leave in someone

else's hands

I grit my teeth, I'm let 'em go but I won't give up my

land

This house and 90 acres, the only place I've left to

stand

My roots are anchored solid, I ain't machinery I'm a

man

I'll be here in the morning come pouring rain or sun

This house and 90 acres

What's said is good as done

There's jobs up in the city I could probably drive a

truck

Or I could move 300 miles from home but that would be

giving up

Well you know that I ain't leaving if it's just my

pride I save

I might be on the front porch or I might be in a

hillside grave

This house and 90 acres, the only place I've left to

stand

My roots are anchored solid, I ain't machinery I'm a

man

I'll be here in the morning come pouring rain or sun

This house and 90 acres

What's said is good as done

This house and 90 acres
