America Will Survive Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

People think we're nearing the end of time 

But we've had enough and we've drawn the line 

Our flag is up since our people went down 

And we're together from the country to town 

We live back in the woods you see 

Big city problems never bothered me 

But now the world has changed and so have I 

And America can survive, America will survive! 

We can plow our fields all day long 

We can catch our fish from dusk 'til dawn 

Yeah, we have toughed it out a time or two 

These are dark days but we're gonna pull through

We grow good ol' tomatoes, we got hometown pride 

America can survive, America is gonna survive 

'Cause you can't scare us out, you can't make us run 

What we got here is freedom and fun 

We say grace and we say "ma'am" 

If they don't like that, we don't give a damn 

We came from the West Virginia coal mines 

The Rocky Mountains and the big city skylines 

Hey, we can hit back and we're gonna be fine 

'Cause this ol' country can survive, America can survive 

I had a good friend in New York City 

Never called Hank, he called me hillbilly 

My grandpa taught me how to live off the land 

And his taught him to be a street-smart man 

He used to send me pictures of the Broadway lights 

And I'd send him some of that homemade scufflin' wine 

Photos 

He was lost like so many in the terrible strife 

And we're all asking God, now why? Oh why? 

I read, "A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye" 

And that's an old slogan we're gonna revive 

'Cause America can survive, America will survive 

'Cause you can't scare us out, you can't make us run 

We're them boys and girls that have freedom and fun 

We say grace, we say "ma'am" 

If they don't like that, we give less than a damn 

We're from North California and South Alabam' 

And all they've done is unite the whole land 

There's no more Yankees and Rebels this time 

But one united people that stand behind 

America can survive, America will survive 

America can survive, America is gonna survive
