Verse 2:
Yesterday when somebody made a living
Well, less of everything was something that they had
Sometimes I wish that I could turn back the pages
And find a place where I can be an honest man
Bridge 2:
I climb that hill and watch the bough break baby
Tear it down to make some living room
Somebody sold out thinking they could walk away
But someday, well, they're going to have to say
Chorus:
There's no tresspassing on this land
I just want to keep working these fields, like my old man
So you can build your backyards somewhere else, Îcause here I am
And there's no no no tresspassing, well there's no no no tresspassing
Yeah there's no no no tresspassing on this land
