American Son Lyrics by War Hippies

War Hippies

[Chorus]
This land is hard, this land is mean
This dirt is red from the blood it's seen
Raised on the good book, hand on a gun
Never backing down, the American son
[Verse 1]
I was born from the blood of a working man
Stand and fight for those who can't
I put my hand 'cross my heart even through the hard times
I get chills up my back when I see ol' glory fly
[Chorus]
'Cause this land is hard, this land is mean
This dirt is red from the blood it's seen
Raised on the good book, hand on a gun
Never backin' down, the American son
[Verse 2]
Ain't afraid of sweat, ain't afraid to bleed
Stand alone for what I believe
Would rather die on my feet than live on my knees
There ain't no man that's gonna take it from me
[Chorus]
This land is hard, this land is mean
This dirt is red from thе blood it's seen
Raised on the good book, hand on a gun
Nevеr backin' down, the American son
[Verse 3]
We come from the farms and the ranches
The oil field hands, the ones who turn the wrenches
We built these bridges and roads
Yeah, the big rig drivers haulin' a load
We're the mason, the cop, the coal miner
The banker, the lawyer and the firefighter
I'm the man in the shadows who carries a gun
I'm the sheepdog, the American son
[Outro]
I am the American son
Never backin' down, I ain't never gonna run
I am the American son
Never backin' down, I ain't never gonna run
I am the American son
Never backin' down, I ain't never gonna run
I am the American son
I'm gonna take you to my grave when my day is done
