D5             A5               D5 
I?ve traveled all around this country 
D5            A5                   D5 
In my time I thought I?d seen it all 
      G5            A5             B5       B5    
But today I took a detour down a backroad 
          E5                             A5 
Through a little town whose name I can?t recall 
           D5          A5               D5 
There were old men on benches playin? checkers 
D5                A5                D5 
Children playin? hopscotch on the square 
    G5            A5            B5      G5 
And high above a statue of an unknown soldier 
    D5         A5             D5 
Old Glory was waving in the air 
B5         G5             D5 
Suddenly I realized what I?d too long forgotten 
  B5                 G5               A5 
A chill rose up like mountains on my skin 
    B5            G5        D5            G5 
Overcome with the feelin?, I knew I was seein? 
D5           A5       D5 
America all over again 
 

D5 G5    A5  
A?mer-icana 
G5             A5                D5   
Pictures of a people proud and free 
D5 B5   G5     E5        A5              B5    B5 
A?m-ericana, I?ll keep holdin? to the dream 
       G5          A5               D5 
You?re still what livin? means to me  
 
 
I knew to stop would throw me off my schedule 
But I parked around behind the Five and Dime 
There?s something bout a small town in the summer 
Like a Norman Rockwell picture back in time 
Kids were courtin? at the Rexall soda fountain 
Like we did before they built the shoppin mall 
I saw so many reasons why I love this country 
You know some things never really change at all 
As I left the 2 lane road and pulled back on that superhighway 
I thought of what I?d seen back in that town 
And it hit me like a freight train 
That a stones throw from the fast lane, America is still safe and sound
