Tekst piosenki
My kin come to texas from tennessee
With davy crockett a long time ago
I guess it’s pretty lucky for me They didn’t all go to the alamo
They fought to make texas free
From the armies of old mexico
They must have thought it was something to be In a land where a family could grow
So they took it away they took it away again
I wonder what those brave women and men
Would do if they came back around
What would they say
About the way everything has been
I don’t think they were trying to win
A place to put poison in the ground
Now i live on an oklahoma hill
It ain’t texas but it used to be Back before jackson signed a deal
To make it indian territory
In the winter that was freezin' cold
They marched the cherokee
In the land rush the settlers stole
Every place that they could be They took it away they took it away again
They had the sword and they had the pen
Worse than spaniards come for gold
They took it away they took it away again
Now they poison the lakes and the lands
That their great grandfather stole
Something happened in between the time
It was home for the outlaw man
And this time i like to think is mine
Is just where all the oil money has been
How can anybody make a meal
From what they can’t afford to grow
What’s going to be left to steal
When there are no more free souls
They took it away they took it away again how much time do you have to spend
Just to get them to let you be Take it away take it away again
I always want to be livin' in the land of the free
The land of the free!
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Moi krewni przybyli do Teksasu z tennessee.
Z davy crockettem dawno temu
Mam szczęście, że nie wszyscy pojechali do alamo.
Walczyli o wolność Teksasu.
Z armii starego Meksyku
Musieli myśleć, że to coś, być na ziemi, gdzie rodzina może się rozwijać.
Więc zabrali to, zabrali to znowu.
Zastanawiam się co te odważne kobiety i mężczyźni
Zrobiliby to, gdyby wrócili.
Co by powiedzieli?
O tym, jak wszystko było
Nie sądzę, żeby próbowali wygrać.
A place to put poison in the ground
Now I live on an oklahoma hill
To nie jest Teksas, ale kiedyś był z powrotem, zanim jackson podpisał umowę.
/ Align = "left" /
In the winter that was freezin ' cold
Maszerowali Czirokezi
W Krainie rush osadnicy ukradli
* Every place that they could be * * they taken it away they taken it away again *
Mieli Miecz i pióro.
Gorsi od Hiszpanów przychodzą po złoto.
Zabrali to, zabrali to znowu.
Teraz zatruwają jeziora i ziemie
Że ich pradziadek ukradł
Coś się wydarzyło między czasem.
To był dom dla wyjętego spod prawa człowieka.
I tym razem lubię myśleć, że jest moja.
To miejsce, gdzie były wszystkie pieniądze z ropy.
Jak ktoś może zrobić posiłek?
Z czego nie stać ich na rozwój
Co zostanie do kradzieży
When there are no more free souls
Ile czasu musisz spędzić?
* Tylko po to, by pozwolić Ci być * * zabierz to * * zabierz to znowu *
I always want to be livin ' in the land of the free
Ziemia wolnych!
