about

Written by George Thimmesch. George comes from a working class family and in his past worked at multiple hard labor jobs. He also is proud of and grateful for his country, America. Based on three fictional characters who somewhere along the line he was, knew, or worked with. God bless America.

lyrics

I run a press at the factory, just like my father before me

Family and work take all my time

Just south of the Mason Dixon line

But the jobs are shipping overseas

I wonder what’ll happen to me

But I ain’t dumb I’m going to college

I’ll try something new, go get some knowledge

‘Cause I love this country, yea, I love this country

I drive a truck for my livin’, that I get lonely is a given

I’ve driven through all of our states

Each one’s a beauty, make no mistake

To fill up my rig now costs a grand

I’ve seen it crush many a good man

But the highways need me for haulin’

The life blood of this land is callin’

‘Cause I love this country, yea, I love this country
(Guitar)
I run a farm in the Midwest

Three kids and a wife I do my best

I raise my crops in the dirt

Wear leather boots and a flannel shirt

Now all the city folk want my land

Take all I’ve done with my bare hands

All those lawyers well I sure can smell ‘em

But they can kiss my ass I ain’t sellin’

‘Cause I love this country, yea, I love this country

(Guitar)
