moe bandy - americana lyrics
i’ve traveled all around this country
in my time i thought i’d seen it all
but today i took a detour down a back road
through a little town whose name i can’t recall.
there were old men on benches playing checkers
children playing hop scotch on the square
and high above a statue of an unknown soldier
old glory was waving in the air
log on to kill this message.
suddenly i realized what i’d too long forgotten
chill rose up like mountains on my skin
overcome with a feeling
i knew i was seeing
america all over again
.
chorus:
americana
picture of a people proud and free
americana
and i’ll keep holding to the dream
you’re still what living means to me.
i knew the stop would throw me off my schedule
but i parked around behind the five and dime
there’s something about a small town in the summer
like a norman rockwell picture back in time.
kids were courting at the rexall soda fountain
like we did before they built the shopping mall
i saw so many reasons why i love this country
you know some things never really change at all.
as i left the two-lane road
and pulled back on that super high way
i thought of what i’d seen back in that town
and it hit me like a freight train
that a stone’s throw from the fast lane.
america is still safe and sound…
