America
(INTRO)
I spent all my money on a ticket to New York
Sneaked at the port by the Dawn
My name is McFerrin I come from the Islands
Where sheep never give up their lawn
I drink and I gamble, I thought I could scramble
My feet on another man's shoes
I fight for a living, I earned all my tearing
We all believed in America
We all believed in America
I burned all the poets, from Withman to Donne
Just to keep the cold away
I looked at the stars up in the sky
Thinking I'd be one someday
I drink and I gamble, I thought I could scramble
My feet on another man's shoes
I fight for a living, I earned all my tearing
We all believed in America
We all believed in America
We all believed in America
I spent all my money on a ticket to New York
Sneaked at the port by the Dawn
My name is McFerrin I come from the Islands
Where sheep never give up their lawn
I drink and I gamble, I thought I could scramble
My feet on another man's shoes
I fight for a living, I earned all my tearing
We all believed in America
We all believed in America
I burned all the poets, from Withman to Donne
Just to keep the cold away
I looked at the stars up in the sky
Thinking I'd be one someday
I drink and I gamble, I thought I could scramble
My feet on another man's shoes
I fight for a living, I earned all my tearing
We all believed in America
We all believed in America
We all believed in America
