verse 1
Well I rode out on that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless sky
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.
verse 2
I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While all around me a voice was calling
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.
verse 3
Well the sun was shining, so I went strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was sounding, As the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.
verse 4
I said Hey Mr President, I wanna talk about the government
All about the poverty, that's in our souls,
what about the welfare, Mister it seems like you don't care,
And I know that this land was made for you and me.
I said Hey Mr President, I wanna talk about the government
All about the poverty, that's in our souls,
Hey hey hey, what about the welfare, Mister it seems like you don't care,
And I know that this land was made for you and me.
Hey hey hey Mister President,I wanna talk about the government,
Oh now what about the poverty, that's deep inside our souls,
No now tell me don't you give a damn about the welfare, 'Cause Mister it seems like you just don't care,
I know this land was made for you and me
