Sunday Morning In America

She dresses up her children and she herds 'em to the car

Drives down to the mega church but can't find a place to park

Then she feels a little guilty when she takes His name in vain

So she folds her last two dollars and she drops 'em in the plate

It's Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

His back is out of kilter from sleeping on concrete

And he'd like to have some breakfast but he'd trade it for a drink

Those early morning joggers, they're quick to pass him by

And the ones who drop a dollar, don't dare look him in the eye

Another Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

Smell the eggs and bacon, I hear the church bells ring

Cheerleaders shaking on a big screen TV

There's Winnebago's and boats on the lake

And a red-head freckled face blows out the candles on his birthday cake

It's Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

He's hunkered in a bunker with a rifle in his hand

Layin' his life on the line, every inch of sand

But he's dreaming about that freedom that he's been fighting for

And the arms that will wrap around him

When he comes walking through that door

Some Sunday morning, it's Sunday morning in America

Yeah, Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

Smell the eggs and bacon, I hear the church bells ring

Cheerleaders shaking on a big screen TV

There's Winnebago's and boats on the lake

And a red-head freckled face blows out the candles on his birthday cake

Yeah, Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

Well, I know it ain't perfect

Ya, there's a lot of things wrong in America

But I thank God for those who lay down their lives

To make this place my home

Smell the eggs and bacon, I hear the church bells ring

Cheerleaders shaking on a 57 inch big screen TV

There's trucks on a highway and sailboats on the lake

And a red-head freckled face blows out the candles on his birthday cake

It's Sunday morning, yeah, Sunday morning in America

It's Sunday morning, beautiful Sunday morning in America

Oh, Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America, in America
