Yes, indeedy sho' 'nuff needy I got the feeling to stretch on out My children are cryin', my elders are dying And me I'm relying on a check for rent If I gotta be broke, then ain't no joke I'm moving to the country and buying some land And I'll be alright if I can rest at night Knowing my children got land to stand on Ache'n for acres plenty of acres Money spent in rent ain't earning me cent Ain't gettin' no Caddy, no Benz, no Jeep Until I got some and for some land to keep No more children crying instead they'll be running Running free and wild in the heat of the sun 'cause once I'm gone I wanna feel strong That my children will go on, family land and all sayin' I got some land to stand on, no more ache'n for acres No beggin' for leftovers, got some space of my own I got grounds to raise on, no more ache'n for acres No more giving to takers, got some land to leave on No more elders passin' without my kids askin' SongtextePapa who's tombstones are those in the yard Family gotta stay close all of us gotta stay close Ache'n for acres for buildin' a nation Ain't about depending on government spendin' Especially when the government's got a plan of their own Separate from me, separate from you Separate from most, in sync with a few Ache'n for acres plenty of acres My grandpappa had 'em all but he lost 'em and he sold 'em The cities were a growin' and grandpa's getting older Little did he know that his land was valuable Got land to stand on then you can stand up Stand up for your rights as a woman, as a man Man o' man my choices expand Ain't got me no money but I got me some land I got some land to stand on, no more ache'n for acres No beggin' for leftovers, got some space of my own I got grounds to raise on, no more ache'n for acres No more giving to takers, got some land to leave on, yeah Aus Songtexte Mania
