My Country

I saw it in those five year old eyes That sparkle, that spirit, that fire She stood there for quite a long time Just talking with those calves as they walked by And she's still the light of my life In my country Well, I've seen the big waters from each side And ive rode the mountain trails, and cattle drives Pushed a team of huskies under Northern Lights In a little town, flame flown, i met my wife Coast to coast, this nation is my life In my country My country is written on my heart And no matter where i go, she's never far You can see it in your children's eyes Feel it in your heart It's in the songs about the land The people and the water It's my country I've played every place i could play Singing songs and telling stories every day We've driven through the blinding snow at night Bakin' fans in all the towns and we survived Coast to coast, this nation is my life In my country My country is written on my heart And no matter where i go, she's never far You can see it in your children's eyes Feel it in your heart It's in the songs about the land The people and the water It's my country And sometimes we might not see eye to eye But we can never let emotion cause divide Cause men and women made the sacrifice They fought for our flag and gave their lives No matter if i'm wrong, or if you're right It's our country Our country is written on our hearts And no matter where we go, she's never far We can see it in our children's eyes Feel it in our hearts It's in the songs about the land The people and the water It's our country Yeah, it's our country It's my country And it's your country
