lyrics

I'm a little late to the game to get in cheap. Couple hundred years and I’d’ve had it for free, with a gun on my belt and rolled up sleeves. But I can't blame Papa cause we had to eat.

Chorus
Tell me what part of your soul you'd sell, when there ain't no water in your wishing well? Papa run off and we had a dry spell. I hope we make it but I just can't tell.

This land is your land and this land is my land. But now the highway's coming through thanks to Uncle Sam. Work done by God and my two hands, now it's pavement on the map and I don't understand.

So tell me what part of your soul you'd sell, when there ain't no water in your wishing well? Papa's gone now, probably to hell. If he ain't there yet then I wish him well

This place can be broken, it can be sold. Ain't it worth more than the dollars you hold? Many a man would give their weight in gold. For part of this land, your heart and your soul.

So tell me what part of your soul you'd sell, when there ain't no water in your wishing well? Papa's gone now, probably to hell. If he ain't there yet then I wish him well

I hope we make it but I just can’t tell
