Intro verse 1 Well I rode out on that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless sky I saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me. verse 2 I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts While all around me a voice was calling This land was made for you and me. This land is your land this land is my land   From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters     This land was made for you and me. verse 3 Well the sun was shining so I went strolling And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling A voice was sounding As the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me. This land is your land this land is my land   From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters    This land was made for you and me. verse 4 I said Hey Mr President I wanna talk about the government All about the poverty that’s in our souls what about the welfare Mister it seems like you don’t care And I know that this land was made for you and me.
