Your America Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

GThis here's a town where the roads get mighty slick kid

Keep your nose upon the grindin' stone like the ones behind ya did

Dontcha dare get caught a staring 'cross that Hancock County line

'Less the faces of your fathers be forgotten in the shine

 So you wEmise up real quick to the workin's of the real world and you jCoin up with old Uncle Sam

 She tEmells you she's late so you marry a nice girl and it doCn't always go how you planned D

 In your America Gman

So you run off to the desert so sure of black and white

And you find out real fast it ain't all stars and stripes

And the man that's in the mirror he is braver than most

But he still gets scared of the Holy Ghost

So you see a few things that you'll never get rid of and you leave a few friends in the sand

Every day there's more takin' than givin' and it just don't feel

Like your America man

 You reEmmember you were young you were Clark Kent sittin'

 On a clGoud up high weren't no politician

 Tell you Emwho you could love or lead you to bleed

 Tell you wChen you could speak or whDat you should be

 You remEmember you were young and your mama said "Listen

 This woGrld ain't nothin if it ain't worth wishin"

 We're Emall real lucky to share this land

CIt ain't just home D

 It's your America mGan

So you feel a little guilty cause you're home in one peice

Sometimes at night you still hear the screams

Your woman she's a tryin' but you're makin' it hard

Your drinkin' in the mornin' and it's gone too far

So you get your first divorce in the fall and you see that kid whenever you can

And you try to make some sense of it all but it just don't feel

Like your America man

You remember you were young you were Clark Kent sittin'

On a cloud up high weren't no politician

Tell you who you could love or lead you to bleed

Tell you when you could speak or what you should be

You remember you were young and your mama said "Listen

This world ain't nothin if it ain't worth wishin"

We're all real lucky to share this land

It ain't just home

It's your America man

So you got some good work fishin' outta the harbor

And it sure feels good to be back on the water

You're six steps in you got six steps left

One day at a time you're comin' back to yourself

And your boy he's a growin' up so fast he tells you he's startin' a band

You can't help but smile and tell him you love him

Cause it ain't just yours

It's his America man

You remember you were young you were Clark Kent sittin'

On a cloud up high weren't no politician

Tell you who you could love or lead you to bleed

Tell you when you could speak or what you should be

You remember you were young and your mama said "Listen

This world ain't nothin if it ain't worth wishin"

We're all real lucky to share this land

It ain't just home

No it ain't just home

No it ain't just home

It's our America man
