[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Me and mine have worked this land
F C
As long as my grandfather can remember
C
Plowin' soil, diggin' holes
F C
Haulin' coal, to strippin' down the timber
G F C
Then they showed up, they shut us down
G F C
Same old story, the same old town
C F
"It's like we don't matter", momma said
C
"At least that's how it seems"
G F
And that's the day I woke up
C
From the American dream
[Verse 2]
C
What are you supposed to do,
F
When the God you're prayin' to
C
Up and goes missin'?
C
Leaves a trail of unpaid bills
F C
Broken homes and opioid addiction
G
And then a politician shows up
F C
Promisin' that
G
He'll return the jobs
F C
That God himself could not bring back
C
Fool me once, shame on you
F C
Fool me twice, shame on me
G F
Yeah, that's the day I gave up
C
On the American dream
[Chorus]
Dm
These lamentations
F C
Are gettin' too damn hard to sing
Dm
These lamentations
F C
Are gonna be the death of me
[Verse 3]
C
You see, me and mine, we ain't the kind
F C
To sit around idle and complain
