"In Country" lyrics

I wasn't born in this country
Still, somehow, here I stand
With all the good that love has done me
I could hold it in one hand

I know I can't live without it
Sometimes it's all I've ever known
My mother raised me not to doubt it
A sweet relief might come, just to hold the gun
I swear I'd put it down

I'm not afraid of this country
It let me live out all my plans
Some say they run it like a company
We're all working for the man

I know I can't live without it
And now it's all I've ever known
My mother raised me not to doubt it
But still, we feel ashamed of some ancient pain
That somehow seems to grow

We all belong in this country
We all belong in this country
We all belong in this country
