Intro {Em C D Em} x2
Em C D Em
I've got a house and 90 acres some cattle in the barn
Em C D Em
Two kids with no mama, she left in a saleman's arms
C G C G
A sign by the mailbox says there's an auction in the yard
Em C D Em
Born and raised has been damn easy but lately living's hard
Em C D Em
The children miss their mama but there ain't nothing I can do
Em C D Em
If she was all I had to worry about well I'd guess I'd miss her too
C G C G
But I've watched my tools and tractor leave in someone else's hands
Em C D C
I grit my teeth, I'm let 'em go but I won't give up my land
G D
This house and 90 acres, the only place I've left to stand
Em C D C
My roots are anchored solid, I ain't machinery I'm a man
G D
I'll be here in the morning come pouring rain or sun
Em C
This house and 90 acres
D
What's said is good as done
{Em C D Em} x2
Em C D Em
There's jobs up in the city I could probably drive a truck
Em C D Em
Or I could move 300 miles from home but that would be giving up
C G C G
Well you know that I ain't leaving if it's just my pride I save
Em C D C
I might be on the front porch or I might be in a hillside grave
G D
This house and 90 acres, the only place I've left to stand
Em C D C
My roots are anchored solid, I ain't machinery I'm a man
G D
I'll be here in the morning come pouring rain or sun
Em C
This house and 90 acres
D
What's said is good as done
Em C
This house and 90 acres
D
What's said is good as done
Em C D Em (to fade)
