I leave town   take a ride   maybe see the country-side   All green and gold   I breathe the better air I'm told      The city life is fine   but it seems like all the time   It's an uphill climb   And I never draw the line      This land this land   The soil turns to sand and stone   You could build a home   A little place to be alone      I worry 'bout the world   I worry too about a girl   but that's nothin' new   There's too much else to do      Take a man any man   Then I start to understand   what he believes   becomes the very land he sees   It sets him free   tranquility   a way to be      Gonna clear my head   and walk along the riverbed   gonna play a song   and hope it finds her further on   I clear my head   I heard just what the river said   I made a song   It'll find you further on      Now I'm far away   from the troubles of the day   another way   another way to pray      Take a man any man   then I start to understand   what he believes   becomes the very land he sees      This land this land   I hear it and I understand   what I believe   becomes the very land...I...see   sets me free   the heart of me   a way to be
