Some have said
Down through history
If you last it's a mystery
But I guess they
Don't know
What they're talking about
From the mountains
Down to the sea
You've become
Such a habit with me
America America
Well I come from
Down round Tennessee
But the people in California
Are nice to me
America
It don't matter
Where I may roam
Tell you people that it's
Home sweet home
America America
And my brothers
Are all black and white
Yellow too
And the red man is right
To expect a little from you
Promise and then
Follow through America
All the men
Who fell on the plains
And who lived
Through hardship
And pain
America America
And the men
Who could not fight
In a war
That didn't seem right
You let 'em come home
America
And my brothers
Are all black and white
Yellow too
And the red man is right
To expect a little from you
Promise and then
Follow through America
Well I come from
Down round Tennessee
But the people in California
Are nice to me America
And no matter
Where I may roam
Tell you people
That it's home sweet home
America America
America America
It's home sweet home
America
America
