That’s My America

Sweet little ladies
Arrogant young bucks
Crusty old cowboys
In their rusty pickup trucks

That’s my America
Land of the brave and home of the free
They don’t always look like you my friend
And they don’t always think like me

Lily white preppy
Cool black dude
Average working Joe
With a “can-do” attitude

That’s my America
Land of the brave and home of the free
They don’t always look like you my friend
And they don’t always think like me

Committed gays and lesbians
Dedicated straights
Folks living in the ghetto
Folks living behind gates

That’s my America
Land of the brave and home of the free
They don’t always look like you my friend
And they don’t always think like me

Egghead intellectuals
Bulbs that barely light
Some lean way to the left
And some only lean right

That’s my America
Land of the brave and home of the free
They don’t always look like you my friend
And they don’t always think like me

Some are bound for heaven
Some are bent on hell
The thing is from the outside
It’s awfully hard to tell

People that have money
Some never have enough
Those that glide unscathed through life
Folks that have it tough

That’s my America
Land of the brave and home of the free
They don’t always look like you my friend
And they don’t always think like me

Some say we need more government
Others insist on less
The one thing we agree on is
We’re really in a mess

That’s my America
Land of the brave and home of the free
They don’t always look like you my friend
And they don’t always think like me

It seems that “We the People”
Are incredibly diverse
And things could be much better
But they sure could be much worse

That’s my America
Land of the brave and home of the free
They don’t always look like you my friend
And they don’t always think like me
