Son Of America Lyrics - Corbin & Hanner

words & music by Bob Corbin 

pub. by Sabal Music Inc. (ASCAP) 

You can ride the roads from Chicago to New Orleans 

And all points in between 

California to the coast of Maine 

And Florida keys to the western plains 

And I'll be there around every corner 

(Chorus) 

I'm a son of America, child of the heart land 

And I know where my heart lies now 

Where it's always been 

I'm a son of America, child of the heart land 

And when I die lay me down 

Deep in my homeland 

I work in the mill, I work in the shop 

I ride the range, I stand alone in the rain at a lonely crossroads 

I live in the city, I live on the farm I raise a family, I live alone 

With my dreams, they're all my own 

Like others before me I make my living with my hands 

I've been right and I've been wrong 

But when the feelin's strong 

You know I'll take a stand 

(Chorus) 

I'm a son of America, child of the heart land 

And when I die lay me down 

Deep in my homeland
