It's America

Drivin' down the street today

I saw a sign for lemonade

They were the cutest kids

I'd ever seen in this front yard

As they handed me my glass

Smiled and thinkin' to myself

Man what a picture perfect postcard this would make of America

It's a high school prom
It's a Springsteen song
It's a ride in a Chevrolet
It's a man on the moon
And fireflies in June And kids sellin' lemonade
It's cities and farms
It's open arms One nation under God It's America
Later on when I got homeI flipped the TV on
I saw a little town that some big
Twister tore apart
And people came from miles around
Just to help their neighbors out

I was thinkin' to myself

I'm so glad that I live in America

It's a high school prom
It's a Springsteen song

It's a ride in a Chevrolet
It's a man on the moon

And fireflies in June

And kids sellin' lemonade

It's cities and farms
It's open arms

One nation under God
It's America

Now we don't always get it all right
There's no place else I rather build my life
Cause it's a kid with a chance
It's a rock and roll band

It's a farmer cuttin' hay
It's a big flag flyin' in the summer wind
Over a fallen hero's grave.
It's a high school prom
It's a Springsteen song
It's a welcome home parade
It's a man on the moon

And fireflies in June

And kids sellin lemonade

It's cities and farms

It's open arms

One nation under God
It's America
This song is sung by Rodney Adkins and expresses just how lucky we are to live in America....please note that I did not take these pics they are from various places found on the Internet! So as we all watch fireworks and eat all-american food let's be mindful of what it really means to be an American!
