Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly
D Bm G
Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free
D Bm G
But now theres fussing and theres fighting We all taking sides
D Bm G
While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide. You see
D Bm G
Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul
D Bm G
Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole
D Bm G
But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind
D Bm G
That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind
D Bm G
Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett
D Bm G
He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget
D Bm G
So he said "Mine mine mine, all for me"
D Bm G
It's great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free
D Bm G
So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head
G D Bm
He said "I'm giving you all a choice now, you're either with me or your
G
dead

D Bm G
Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull
D Bm G
Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools
D Bm G
I guess it boils down to how you see it, do you see Kimberly,
D Bm G
Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity?
Em G
Where do i stand?
Bm A
Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the
Em G
sand. It's all gray.
Bm A Em
There are no black and whites so who am I to say
G
You are wrong
Bm A Em
but you never know what you got until its gone
G
And one day
Bm A G
the little people will ask what you did and what we said
D Bm
I am what I am and I am strong
G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
D Bm
I am what I am and I am belong
G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
D Bm
I am what I am and I am strong
G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
D Bm
I am what I am and I am belong
G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
