Andrew Peterson - Land Of The Free Live Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little Elba how's the sun in South America?
Does it shine upon the faces of the poor?
Do they see in it the brilliance of the place that's been prepared
And dwell upon the hope of what's in store?
Or are they just like me, do they only see
An opportunity to complain about the heat?

[Verse 2]
And little Elba how's the rain in South America?
Does it fall upon the rooftops of the sick?
Do they thank the Lord for coming up with such a great idea
And dream about a place beyond all this?
Or are they just like us, do they gripe and fuss
About the rain and mud when they've had too much?

[Chorus]
Cause I'm just a little jealous
Of the nothing that you have
You're unfettered by the wealth of
Of a world that we pretend that's going to last

[Verse 3]
Well I'm weary of the spoils of my ambition
And I'm shackled by the comfort of my couch
Well I wish I had the courage to deny these of myself
And start to store my treasure in the clouds
Cause this is not my home
I do not belong where the antelope and the buffalo roam, no no
[Chorus]
And I'm just a little jealous
Of the nothing that you have
You're unfettered by the wealth of
Of a world that we pretend that's going to last

[Bridge]
They say God blessed us with plenty
Well I say you're blessed with poverty
'Cause you never stop to wonder
Whether Earth is just a little better than the Land of the free

[Verse 4]
So I hope you're safe and dry in South America
'Cause I'm feeling pretty good in Georgia and Indiana
'Cause I'm feeling pretty good in Clemson
Pretty good in the new city (Sorry)
'Cause I'm feeling pretty good in Kentucky
In South Carolina
In Illinois
In Baton Rouge
In [?]
In Missouri
In Illinois
And in Augusta, Kansas... (That's where you're supposed to cheer...)
(Is it because most of you are from Wichita? Is that the deal? Should I have said Wichita? Would that have been more inclusive?)
(I think it's because you did that disgusting thing with your lips.)
(I moved my lips weird when I said it?)
'Cause I'm feeling pretty good in Wichita (Whoo!)
'Cause I'm feeling pretty good in Indiana
In Carolina
Alabama
In Tuscaloosa
In Cincinnati
May you never be so happy that you forget about your home
Your home in the Land of the free
(Thank you!)
