Em                      C     D                  Em 
I've got a house and 90 acres some cattle in the barn 
Em               C         D                   Em 
Two kids with no mama, she left in a saleman's arms 
  C           G                       C              G 
A sign by the mailbox says there's an auction in the yard 
Em                  C                  D               Em 
Born and raised has been damn easy but lately living's hard 
 
Em                      C                    D             Em 
The children miss their mama but there ain't nothing I can do 
Em                      C                    D                  Em 
If she was all I had to worry about well I'd guess I'd miss her too 
         C                    G                C              G 
But I've watched my tools and tractor leave in someone else's hands 
Em               C                    D                C 
I grit my teeth, I'm let 'em go but I won't give up my land 
 
G                                 D 
This house and 90 acres, the only place I've left to stand 
   Em                 C              D               C 
My roots are anchored solid, I ain't machinery I'm a man 
G                                D 
I'll be here in the morning come pouring rain or sun 
     Em           C 
This house and 90 acres 
       D 
What's said is good as done 
 
Em C D Em x2 
 
Em                     C            D                Em 
There's jobs up in the city I could probably drive a truck 
Em                  C                   D                    Em 
Or I could move 300 miles from home but that would be giving up 
         C                 G               C               G 
Well you know that I ain't leaving if it's just my pride I save 
Em                C                      D                C 
I might be on the front porch or I might be in a hillside grave 
 
G                                 D 
This house and 90 acres, the only place I've left to stand 
   Em                 C              D               C 
My roots are anchored solid, I ain't machinery I'm a man 
G                                D 
I'll be here in the morning come pouring rain or sun 
     Em           C 
This house and 90 acres 
       D 
What's said is good as done 
     Em           C 
This house and 90 acres 
       D 
What's said is good as done 
 
Em C D Em (to fade)
