THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

Live 14 Sep 1981 version

Well once I rode that ribbon highway
And I saw above me the endless sky
I saw below me the golden valley
Well this land was made for you and me

I roamed and I rambled, and I followed my footsteps
Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
And all this land was made for you and me

Well the sun came shining as I went strolling
Through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
And the bells were ringing and the fog was just lifting
But I seen this land was made for you and me

Well 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
Well this land is made for you and me

And though they may try, they'll never stop me
And though they may try, they'll never own me
'Cause I am wandering, and I know
That this land was made for you and me
