As recorded by Chris Janson
(From the 2022 Album ALL IN)



[Intro]
C


[Verse 1]
C                                   F      C
Rollin' through the coal country, east on 91
     F            C            Am                  G
I'll make West Virginia by the dawn of the mornin' sun
      C                               F
These people are my family, under the mattress is their bank
                            C                  G               C
If you hear shootin' in the backyard, brother, we ain't firin' blanks


[Verse 2]
C                                               F                C
Now people these days make fun of us, say we're causin' all this mess
                 F             C               Am             G
While they build more concrete jungles and the world is in distress
           C                                        F
Well, your purple mountain majesty to you is just a dream
                           C             G          C
But 'round here, it's back porch real as methamphetamine


[Chorus]
                    F                      C
Well, they say this land is your land, but ain't that a crock of shit?
                F                                 C                G
'Cause with the price of cigarettes goin' up, I'm gonna have to quit
       C                                                F
We all blue and we all red and we support the boys that fall
                    C           G              C
With a Bible on the table and a flag on the wall


[Verse 3]
C                               F              C
Out here in these hollers, they really hunt to eat
     F                 C              Am            G
They sell the hides to keep the shoes on the baby's feet
        C                             F
And the wood that they're choppin', yeah, it provides the heat
                       C                       G       C
And life ain't half as bad as it looks from an old C10 seat


[Verse 4]
C                                             F                   C
Now a couple more long hard years and this double wide'll be paid off
     F                  C                      Am               G
'Til then, I'ma keep on runnin' these jars and pray I don't get caught
  C                                 F
I keep on prayin' to Jesus and keep my fingers crossed
        C                         G          C
With a Bible on the table and a flag on the wall


[Chorus]
           F                               C
Well, they say this land is your land, but ain't that a crock of shit?
                F                               G               G
'Cause with the price of gasoline goin' up, I'm gonna have to sit
       C                                                F
We all blue and we all red and we support the boys that fall
                    C           G              C
With a Bible on the table and a flag on the wall


[Outro]
G                         F              C
God be with this country, God be with us all
          F            C             G           C  Dm  C  F  C  Dm  G  C
Bless the Bible on the table and the flag on the wall
