I come from a land of oil and cattle

Hard work, blood, sweat, and tears

Yeah, I'm proud to be from a land of oil and cattle

The best place that I've ever known

I come from a land at the foot of the Rockies

Where the eagle protects the sky

I fished these rivers when I was a child

The government tried but can't stop me

Where my people, at one time, lived free

Before there was oil and fences for cattle

Mother Nature owned all you could see

The settlers came, and though we were brave
G E7
The healing has not yet begun
D Bm Em A D
I'll find my place again in this land under one sun

We'll find our place again in this land under one sun
