Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drivin' down the street today
I saw the sign for lemonade
They were the cutest kids I'd ever seen
In this front yard
As they handed me my glass
Smiling, thinkin' to myself
Man, what a picture perfect postcard this would make
Of America
[Verse 2]
It's a highschool 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 selling lemonade
It's cities and farms, it's open arms
One nation under God
It's America
[Verse 3]
Later on when I got home, I 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
And I was thinking to myself, I'm so glad that I live in America
[Verse 4]
It's a highschool 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 selling lemonade
It's cities and farms, it's open arms
One nation under God
It's America
[Verse 5]
Now we don't always get it alright
There's no place else I'd rather build my life
Cause it's a kid with a chance
It's a rock n' roll band, it's a farmer cutting hay
It's a big flag flying in a summer wind
Over a fallen hero's grave
[Verse 6]
It's a highschool 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 selling lemonade
It's cities and farms, it's open arms
One nation under God
It's America
It's America
Oh, yeah
