Land Of The Free Lyrics - The Killers

Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face 

It's just the old man in me 

Washing his truck at the Sinclair station 

In the land of the free 

His mother Adeline's family came on a ship 

Cut coal and planted a seed 

Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania 

In the land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

In the land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

In the land of the free 

(I'm standing crying)

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

When I go out in my car, I don't think twice 

But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing crying) 

You grow up looking over both your shoulders 

In the land of the free 

We got more people locked up than the rest of the world 

Right here in red, white and blue 

Incarceration's become big business 

It's harvest time out on the avenue 

Land of the free, land of the free 

In the land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

Move on there's nothing too see 

Land of the free, land of the free 

In the land of the free

I'm standing crying, I'm standing crying 

So how many daughters, tell me how many sons 

Do we have to have to put in the 

ground before we just break down and face it 

We got a problem with guns 

In the land of the free 

Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall 

Concrete and rebar steel beams (I'm standing crying) 

High enough to keep all those filthy hands off 

of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying) 

People who just want the same things we do 

In the land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

In the land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

In the land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

Land of the free, land of the free 

Land of the free, in the land of the free 

(I'm standing crying)
