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
