My America
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
We grew in a simpler time
Before they built these walls
Skinned our knees, but we never cried
We lived to live our lives
My America
Son come take my hand
Cause that's the greatest generation
Do you remember my America
Life was so much simpler then
And do you recall how we used to dance
Down at Sutter's Barn, the moon seemed ten feet tall
With Mom and Dad and Uncle Sam
Where the flags waved proud
And every house along the block left their doors unlocked
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
We grew in a simpler time
Before they built these walls
Skinned our knees, but we never cried
We lived to live our lives
My America
Son come take my hand
Cause that's the greatest generation
Do you remember my America
Our love was so much younger then
And do you recall the vows we shared that night
Babe I'll always love you, you know I'll never hurt you
With Mom and Dad and Uncle Sam
Where the flags waved proud
And every house along the block left their doors unlocked
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
We grew in a simpler time
Before they built these walls
Skinned our knees, but we never cried
We lived to live our lives
My America
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
We grew in a simpler time
Before they built these walls
Skinned our knees, but we never cried
We lived to live our lives
My America
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
Do you remember, do you remember
Do you remember, do you remember
Do you remember, do you remember now
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
We grew in a simpler time
Before they built these walls
Skinned our knees, but we never cried
We lived to live our lives
My America
Son come take my hand
Cause that's the greatest generation
Do you remember my America
Life was so much simpler then
And do you recall how we used to dance
Down at Sutter's Barn, the moon seemed ten feet tall
With Mom and Dad and Uncle Sam
Where the flags waved proud
And every house along the block left their doors unlocked
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
We grew in a simpler time
Before they built these walls
Skinned our knees, but we never cried
We lived to live our lives
My America
Son come take my hand
Cause that's the greatest generation
Do you remember my America
Our love was so much younger then
And do you recall the vows we shared that night
Babe I'll always love you, you know I'll never hurt you
With Mom and Dad and Uncle Sam
Where the flags waved proud
And every house along the block left their doors unlocked
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
We grew in a simpler time
Before they built these walls
Skinned our knees, but we never cried
We lived to live our lives
My America
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
We grew in a simpler time
Before they built these walls
Skinned our knees, but we never cried
We lived to live our lives
My America
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off again
Keep your wits about you, never fault
As dreams around you fall
You know what I'm saying
Do you remember, do you remember
Do you remember, do you remember
Do you remember, do you remember now
