Dear Old America

Standing in line on the depot floor

Taking my time getting through the door

Daddy said "go!" and Mama just cried

Sister said "devil's on the other side"

Hurricane blowing water gets high

Can't turn around or I'll drown in lies

When I get back I'm gonna own this town

Shine that medal and wear that crown

Fall on my knees and kiss the ground...

Dear old America

Run run rabbit save your rabbit skin

Jump right back in your hole again

Bullets they cry whispering drone

Fire in the sky God's on the phone

When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts

Dream my dreams and shut my mouth

Nobody knows what this is all about

Dear old America

We don't beg and we don't run

We don't lose we don't overcome

Purple mountain majesty sliding to a broken sea

Daddy he swear and Mama she cry

"My sweet baby she's bound to die"

When I get back I'm gonna feel just fine

One more day I'm gonna do my time

Ain't no hammer gonna ring like mine

When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts

Dream my dreams and shut my mouth

Nobody knows what this is all about now

When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts

Dream my dreams and shut my mouth

Nobody knows what this is all about
