Intro 
Verse 1 
D                          Am7 
People think it's nearly the end of time 
G                         D 
Cause we're all together now we draw the line 
D                        Am7 
Our flag is up, the stock markets down 
G                             D 
But now we're united from the country to the town 
D                               Am7 
We live back in the woods you see 
G                        D 
Big city problems never bothered me 
D                          Am7 
But the world has changed and so have I 
G          Am7  D  
And America can survive 
Am7      G     D 
America will survive 
 
Verse 2 
We can plow our fields all day long 
We can catch catfish from dusk till dawn 
Yeah we have toughed it out a time or two 
Ain't too many things these boys and girls can't do 
We grow good ol' tomatoes we got home town pride 
America can survive 
America is going to survive 
 
Chorus 
G              Am7                  D 
Can't stomp us out you cant make a run 
Am7                   G                          D 
With them boys and girls with their freedom and fun 
G         Am7         D 
We say grace, we say m'am  
Am7                 G                     D 
If they don't like that, we don't give a damn 
 
Verse 3 
Come from the West Virginia coal mines 
Rocky mountains and the big city skylines 
We can hit back, and we're going to be fine 
This country can survive 
America can survive 
 
Verse 4 
I had a good friend in New York City 
He never called me by name he called me hillbilly 
My grandpa taught me to live off the land 
His taught him to be a good businessman 
Used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights 
I sent him some of granddaddy's Williams homemade musky dime wine 
He was lost like so many in the terrible strife 
We're all asking God now why o' why? 
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye 
That's an old slogan we're going to revive 
Cause America can survive  
America will survive 
 
Chorus 
Hey you can't scare us out 
You can't make 'em run 
With them boys and girls got freedom and fun 
We say grace we say m'am  
If they don't like that we give less than a damn 
 
Verse 5 
We're from north California and south Alabam 
And all they've done is unite this whole land 
No more Yankees and Rebels this time  
But one united people that stand behind 
 
Outro 
America can survive 
America will survive 
America can survive 
America will survive
