I've got a house and 90 acres some cattle in the barn

Two kids with no mama, she left in a saleman's arms

 A sign by the mailbox says there's an auction in the yard

Born and raised has been damn easy but lately living's hard

The children miss their mama but there ain't nothing I can do

If she was all I had to worry about well I'd guess I'd miss her too

 But I've watched my tools and tractor leave in someone else's hands

I grit my teeth, I'm let 'em go but I won't give up my land

This house and 90 acres, the only place I've left to stand

 My roots are anchored solid, I ain't machinery I'm a man

I'll be here in the morning come pouring rain or sun

 This house and 90 acres

 What's said is good as done

 { } x2

There's jobs up in the city I could probably drive a truck

Or I could move 300 miles from home but that would be giving up

 Well you know that I ain't leaving if it's just my pride I save

I might be on the front porch or I might be in a hillside grave

This house and 90 acres, the only place I've left to stand

 My roots are anchored solid, I ain't machinery I'm a man

I'll be here in the morning come pouring rain or sun

 This house and 90 acres

 What's said is good as done

 This house and 90 acres
