Oil and Cattle (feat. George Canyon, Don Amero & Brad Johner)

I come from a land of oil and cattle Hard work, blood, sweat and tears My grandpa's grandpa, first broke the land That's been ours for 100 years The feds tried to break us The bank tried to take us But somehow we stayed in the saddle I'm proud to be from a land of oil and cattle I come from a land of wide open prairie Blue skies and wheat fields of gold They call em the flatlands, but to me it's the heartland The best place that I've ever known I don't have much cash But I ain't a poor man God don't give me more than I can carry I'm proud to be from a land of wide open prairie 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 Now I do as the traffic drives by Fire took the jack pines But we fought off the coal mines The government tried — but can't stop me I'm proud to be from a land at the foot of the Rockies I come from a land under one sun Where my people, at one time, lived free Before there was oil and fences for cattle Mother Nature owned all you could see Then the settlers came, and though we were brave The healing has not yet begun I'll find my place again in this land - under one sun We'll find our place again in this land - under one sun
