Hand on the Heartland
Red clay on them boots
Working for a dollar
It's written in them roots
Like blue on a collar
White lines on a highway
Calling like a long lost friend
Wake up and ya do it all again
That same old sunrise
Different every time
It's a little piece of heaven
Cutting through them pines
Everything that you work for
Is waiting on you back home
We're singing that working man's song
Stand up
Oh, walking tough and tall
Yeah brother now stand up
Don't take much to have it all
Yeah you give more than you take
And always love the ones you love
The best you can
With your hand on the heartland
Sometimes you're the hammer
Sometimes you're the nail
Somedays you're gonna win it all
Somedays you're gonna fail
But the measure of a man is in
Everything you leave behind
Daddy used to tell me all the time
Stand up
Oh, walking tough and tall
Yeah brother now stand up
Don't take much to have it all
Yeah you give more than you take
And always love the ones you love
The best you can
With your hand on the heartland
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
There's something in that flag
That keeps us going strong
Through the good times and the bad
We just keep on keeping on
Yeah
Stand up
Oh, walking tough and tall
Yeah brother now stand up
Don't take much to have it all
Yeah you give more than you take
And always love the ones you love
The best you can
With your hand on the heartland
Stand up
Stand up
Won't you stand up
Working for a dollar
It's written in them roots
Like blue on a collar
White lines on a highway
Calling like a long lost friend
Wake up and ya do it all again
That same old sunrise
Different every time
It's a little piece of heaven
Cutting through them pines
Everything that you work for
Is waiting on you back home
We're singing that working man's song
Stand up
Oh, walking tough and tall
Yeah brother now stand up
Don't take much to have it all
Yeah you give more than you take
And always love the ones you love
The best you can
With your hand on the heartland
Sometimes you're the hammer
Sometimes you're the nail
Somedays you're gonna win it all
Somedays you're gonna fail
But the measure of a man is in
Everything you leave behind
Daddy used to tell me all the time
Stand up
Oh, walking tough and tall
Yeah brother now stand up
Don't take much to have it all
Yeah you give more than you take
And always love the ones you love
The best you can
With your hand on the heartland
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
There's something in that flag
That keeps us going strong
Through the good times and the bad
We just keep on keeping on
Yeah
Stand up
Oh, walking tough and tall
Yeah brother now stand up
Don't take much to have it all
Yeah you give more than you take
And always love the ones you love
The best you can
With your hand on the heartland
Stand up
Stand up
Won't you stand up
