I'VE TRAVELED ALL
AROUND THIS COUNTRY
IN MY TIME I THOUGHT
I'D SEEN IT ALL
BUT TODAY I TOOK A
DETOUR DOWN A BACK ROAD
THROUGH A LITTLE TOWN
WHOSE NAME
I CAN'T RECALL
THERE WERE OLD MEN ON
BENCHES PLAYIN' CHECKERS
CHILDREN PLAYIN'
HOPSCOTCH ON THE SQUARE
HIGH ABOVE A STATUE OF
AN UNKNOWN SOLDIER
OLD GLORY WAS
WAVING IN THE AIR
SUDDENLY I REALIZED WHAT
I'D TOO LONG FORGOTTEN
CHILL ROSE UP LIKE
MOUNTAINS ON MY SKIN
OVERCOME WITH
THE FEELIN'
THAT I KNEW I WAS SEEIN'
AMERICA ALL OVER AGAIN
AMERICANA
PICTURES OF A PEOPLE
PROUD AND FREE
AMERICANA
AND I'LL KEEP HOLDING
TO THE DREAM
YOU'RE STILL WHAT
LIVIN' MEANS TO ME
AND I KNEW THIS
STOP WOULD
THROW ME OFF MY
SCHEDULE
SO I PARKED AROUND BEHIND
THE FIVE-AND-DIME
THERE'S SOMETHIN'
'BOUT A
SMALL TOWN IN
THE SUMMER
LIKE A NORMAN ROCKWELL
PICTURE BACK IN TIME
KIDS WERE COURTIN'
AT THE
REXALL SODA
FOUNTAIN
LIKE WE DID
BEFORE THEY
BUILT THE SHOPPIN'
MALLS
AND I SAW SO MANY
REASONS
WHY I LOVE THIS
COUNTRY
YOU KNOW SOME
THINGS
NEVER REALLY
CHANGE AT ALL
AS I LEFT THE
TWO-LANE ROAD
AND PULLED BACK ON
THAT SUPER HIGHWAY
I THOUGHT OF WHAT I'D
SEEN BACK IN THAT TOWN
AND IT HIT ME LIKE
A FREIGHT TRAIN
THAT A STONE'S THROW
FROM THE FAST LANE
AMERICA IS STILL
SAFE AND SOUND
AMERICANA
PICTURES OF A PEOPLE
PROUD AND FREE
AMERICANA
AND I'LL KEEP HOLDING
TO THE DREAM
YOU'RE STILL WHAT
LIVIN' MEANS TO ME
AMERICANA
PICTURES OF A PEOPLE
PROUD AND FREE
AMERICANA
AND I'LL KEEP HOLDING
TO THE DREAM
YOU'RE STILL WHAT
LIVIN' MEANS TO ME
AMERICANA
PICTURES OF A PEOPLE
PROUD AND FREE
AMERICANA
AND I'LL KEEP HOLDING
TO THE DREAM
YOU'RE STILL WHAT
LIVIN' MEANS TO ME
