He also has charted seven No. 1 hits in his career: "Somebody's Gonna Love You", "Going, Going, Gone", "Dixie Road", "I Don't Mind the Thorns (If You're the Rose)", "Don't Underestimate My Love For You", "Hearts Aren't Made to Break (They're Made to Love)", and "Mornin' Ride". His 1983 single "I.O.U." was also a top five hit on the adult contemporary charts, and a No. 53 on the Hot 100.

Greenwood was born in Los Angeles, California. After the separation of his parents, he grew up near Sacramento on the poultry farm of his maternal grandparents. At the age of seven, he started singing in church. In 1969, he joined the Chester Smith Band and had his first television appearance. A short time later, he worked with the country musician Del Reeves.

This Land Is Your Land
by: Lee GreenwoodThis land is your land
This land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the gulf stream water
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
(chorus)
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 water
This land was made for you and me
(chorus)
