There's a picture of Jesus Hanging over my head And it smiles at me all the way down I wonder if he sees us Or what he sees instead And I wonder if he'll ever come around
And there's gold for the taking Lyin' on the ground Here in the land of the free Tell me was I mistaken Or did I hit the wrong town 'Cause it sure was not waiting for me
There's no bread on the table There's clouds on the sun And I'm riding' out with a price on my head I'm willing and able To do what must be done So my babies sleep safely in bed
When I came here they welcomed me With their arms open wide But that was a long time ago Brought my wife and my family I brought along my pride Can you tell me where did it go
And there's gold for the taking Lyin' on the ground Here in the land of the free Tell me was I mistaken Or did I hit the wrong town 'Cause it sure was not waiting for me
