[Intro] Boots in the mud Sun on my face I carve my name On this wide open space (hey!) [Verse 1] Welcome to the parish line Where the pines kiss sky and the rivers wind You been dreaming ’bout a fence and gate I been walking every backroad in this state Acres calling I can hear ’em scream “Find the one who’ll fight for this dream” [Chorus] I’m the queen of the acre Raising hell for the home you crave Turning raw red dirt To the kingdom you crave From the bayou banks To the high dry sand You bring the dream I bring the land I’m the queen of the acre In Louisiana’s hands [Verse 2] I know every deed Every hidden line Every floodplain mark in the cypress shine You see grass and trees I see your new front yard Yeah I swing this pen like a steel-tipped shard (ugh!) I’ll cut through doubt I’ll cut through lies Till your last “what if” finally dies [Chorus] I’m the queen of the acre Raising hell for the home you crave Turning raw red dirt To the kingdom you crave From the bayou banks To the high dry sand You bring the dream I bring the land I’m the queen of the acre In Louisiana’s hands [Bridge] You want woods? I got ’em You want fields? Let’s plot ’em From the marsh at dawn To the oak tree shade We’ll sign that line Watch the dream get made (oh yeah) [Chorus] I’m the queen of the acre Raising hell for the home you crave Turning raw red dirt To the kingdom you crave From the bayou banks To the high dry sand You bring the dream I bring the land I’m the queen of the acre In Louisiana’s hands (hey!) I’m the queen of the acre This is your promised land
