verse 1
drivin down the street today
saw the sign for lemonade
they were the cutest kids
ive seen in this front yard

as they handed me my glass
smiled and thinkin to myself
man what a picture perfect postcard this would make
of america

chorus

its a high school prom
its a springstein song
its a ride in a cheverlet
its a man on the moon
and fireflies in June
kids sellin lemonade
its cities and farms
and open arms
one nation under god
its america

verse 2
later on when i got home
i flipped the t.v on
i saw a little town that some big
twister tore apart
people came from miles around
just to help their neighbors out
and i was thinkin to my self
im so glad that i live in america

chorus

bridge
now we might not always get it right
but theres nowhere else i rather build my life

cause its a kid with a chance
its a rock n roll band
its a farmer cuttin hay

its flag blowin in the summer wind
over some fallen hero's grave.


key higher

chorus except "ride in a cheverlet' is now its a welcome home parade
