Lyrics
Looking for America
Drove through a small town, with quiet dusty roads
The whole town took the day off for a carnival
Nice to know there's towns like this
These are the places that I miss
God bless America, sea to shining sea
Sometimes it feels like we've forgotten to be free
I know you're out there and I'll find you again
To see if you're the same as you've always been
Saw a man walking down an empty road
Shoulders stooped from years of heavy loads
I asked him "hey mister, you need a ride"
He said "there's no hurry, time's on my side"
God bless America, sea to shining sea
Don't you forget about those simple folk like me
I know you're out there and I'll find you again
To see if you're the same as you've always been
Drove into a seaport - or it was one bygone day
Where all the fishing boats sat anchored in the bay
Close to heaven as it gets
Lost in a time we shouldn't forget
God bless America, yeah sea to shining sea
Home of the brave and land of the free
I know you're out there, I hope I find you again
But will you be the same as you've always been?
