Lyrics

[00:19.74] Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
[00:26.03] It's just the old man in me
[00:30.77] Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
[00:35.68] In the land of the free (Ooh)
[00:39.23] His mother, Adeline's family, came on a ship
[00:44.77] Cut coal and planted a seed
[00:49.25] Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
[00:54.50] In the land of the free
[00:58.35]
[01:00.19] Land of the free, land of the free
[01:03.24] In the land of the free
[01:05.33] Land of the free, land of the free
[01:09.63] Land of the free, land of the free
[01:14.13] In the land of the free (I'm standing crying)
[01:17.93]
[01:18.13] When I go out in my car, I don't think twice
[01:23.03] But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing, crying)
[01:28.91] You grow up looking over both your shoulders
[01:33.68] In the land of the free
[01:36.33] And we got more people locked up than the rest of the world
[01:42.74] Right here in red, white and blue (I'm standing, crying)
[01:47.90] Incarceration's become big business
[01:53.01] It's harvest time out on the avenue
[01:54.71]
[01:55.82] Land of the free, land of the free
[01:58.72] In the land of the free
[02:00.72] Land of the free, land of the free
[02:05.12] Move on there's nothing to see
[02:08.14] Land of the free, land of the free
[02:11.08] In the land of the free
[02:12.66]
[02:13.32] Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[02:20.48] I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[02:25.29] I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[02:32.99] So how many daughters, tell me, how many sons
[02:38.18] Do we have to have to put in the ground
[02:40.49] Before we just break down and face it:
[02:44.04] We got a problem with guns (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[02:48.87] In the land of the free
[02:51.44] Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall
[02:56.21] Concrete and Rebar Steel beams (I'm standing crying)
[03:01.11] High enough to keep all those filthy hands off
[03:05.30] Of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying)
[03:11.09] People who just want the same things we do
[03:18.69] In the land of the free
[03:20.08]
[03:20.89] Land of the free, land of the free
[03:23.72] In the land of the free
[03:26.01] Land of the free, land of the free
[03:29.92] Land of the free, land of the free
[03:34.67] In the land of the free
[03:37.77] Land of the free, land of the free
[03:42.47] Land of the free, land of the free
[03:47.28] Land of the free, land of the free
[03:51.58] In the land of the free (I'm standing crying)
