Lyrics

[Verse 1]
America
America
America
America
You are so grand and gold, golden
Oh, I wish I was deep in America tonight
[Verse 2]
America
America
I watch David Letterman
In Australia
Oh, America
You are so grand and gold, golden
I wish I was on the next flight
To America
[Verse 3]
Captain Kristofferson
Buck sergeant Newbury
Leatherneck Jones
Sergeant Cash
What an army
What an air force
What a marines
America
I never served my country
America
America
[Verse 4]
Afghanistan, Vietnam
Iran, Native American
America
Well, everyone's allowed a past
They don't care to mention
America
America
[Verse 5]
Well, it's hard to rouse a hog in delta
And it can get tense around the Bible belt-a
America
America
[Verse 6]
All the lucky suckle teat
Others chomp pig knuckle meat
Ain't enough teat, ain't enough teat, ain't enough teat
Ain't enough teat, ain't enough teat, ain't enough to eat
In America
America
America
In America
[Verse 7]
Now
