Live 15 Mar 2012 version
| All: | 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 | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Gonna do it, Joe? |
| Joe Ely: | I was walking that ribbon of highway |
| I saw above me the golden highway | |
| I saw below me a shining valley | |
| This land was made for you and me | |
| All: | 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 | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Come on Alejandro |
| All: | This land was made for you and me |
| Alejandro Escovedo: | I roamed and rambled, I followed my footsteps |
| To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts | |
| And all around me a voice was sounding | |
| This land was made for you and me | |
| All: | 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 | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Anybody want to take it? |
| Ben Knox Miller: | The sun come shining |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Yeah, go on Will! |
| Ben Knox Miller: | As I was strolling |
| Through the wheat fields waving and the clouds rolling | |
| The fog was lifting, a voice come chanting | |
| This land was made for you and me | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Come on! |
| All: | 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 | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Now sing with me Joe, ready? |
| Springsteen and Ely: | As I was walking I saw a sign there |
| And the sign said "No Trespassing" | |
| But on the other side it didn't say nothing | |
| That side was made for you and me | |
| All: | This land is your land, this land is my land |
| From California to the New York Island | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Hey Tom! |
| All: | From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters |
| This land was made for you and me | |
| Tom Morello: | In the squares of the city, in the shadow of a steeple |
| Near the relief office I seen my people | |
| And some are grumbling and all are wondering | |
| If this land's still made for you and me | |
| Tell 'em! | |
| All: | 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 | |
| Crowd: | 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 | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Come on! |
| All: | 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 | |
| All: | 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 | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Thank you Austin! |
| One! Two! One two three! | |
| All: | 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 |
