America I Believe In You

Charlie Daniels Band


We got some trouble in our own backyard
Things are kinda tough things are kinda hard
Got a lot of people living out in the street
And people going hungry without nothing to eat
And in this land of plenty this shouldn't be going on
We've got enough for everybody we're just gonna pass it along

Well I'm glad about to fall the comunism I'm glad about to the Berlin Wall
And I love to see the tyrants bitin' the dust in fact I'm glad about it all
And I believe in helping everybody but when it comes to all them foreign loans
I thing we ought to remember that charity begins at home yes it starts right here

In America America hey I know the sun is rising on a better day
America America yeah yeah we got the power and we know the way
America America well let me say a few words about the red white and blue
America America well I know you're gonna do it I believe in you
[ guitar ]
Now I've been tryin' to figure this out
But there's somethin' that I just don't know
How can you make things better when you take our jobs
And send them down to Mexico
And then there was a big shot from the land of the risin' sun
He said the workin' people in America were lazy and dumb
Let me tell you something Jack

The next time I go on a shopping trip and take somethin' off the rack
If it don't say made in USA I'm just gonna put it back
We can't leave it to the politicians cause they don't do nothing but talk
And it's we the people that's goin' to have to walk the walk
And we can do it right now

In America America...

We got the best dang farmers in the whole wide world
The fastest horses and the prettiest girls
Got the Army and the Navy Air Force and Marines
The mightiest fighting force the world's ever seen
We're the kinda people that can get things done
We're serving notice that we're still No 1
We got the nerve we got the will
We'll all get it together cause you know that we are still

In America America...
In America America...
