Lyrics
When I was just a little boy I wondered
just what was to become of me
The World around me seemed so simple and so easy
I thought that's how it always would be.
As I grew older, life started getting bolder things were harder than they used to be.
I knew that growing up was gonna be a challenge
that's when it finally all came to me.
CHORUS: I'm glad I'm me--I'm glad I'm living in a time where I can be what I wanna be
In the Land of the free---where you can live your life each day so respectfully
Then I became a grown man and I married and I wound up with my own family
I had to make a living, be a giving father so my son could have the things that he needs.
The one thing out of everything I hope he learned just like I did
Life is not as simple and free
Life can be a good road or a bad road when your driving
follow my philosophy--and say
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE: In the land of the free--it can be so heavenly
I hope and I pray--this land always stays this way
For you and for me---it'll always be
Guitar Solo:
REPEAT CHORUS:
ADD 2nd CHORUS: I'll always see
I'm in a place where things are just about as good as they can be
In the land of the free
where you can live your life each day so respectfully
