Lyrics

I'm just one of hundreds of millions of people who carry in our hearts A profound affection, respect, and lasting sense of loss for John FitzGerald Kennedy I dearly wish that I could find more ways to live those words of his "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" But, whatever I try to give to my country it keeps giving right back to me Compounded every hour on the hour Only in America could all that's happened to me, happen to a guy like me Anywhere else I might have wound up digging coal Or herding sheep or stuffing fortune cookies All respectable enough jobs but I imagine, for me, a bit frustrating My country has let me sing for my supper and then payed me for the food I eat I've had my ups and downs, but who hasn't? But my low down downdest was certainly better than digging post holes For the iron or bare bull curtain, and you'd better believe me buster What is America to me? A name, a map, a flag I see A certain word, democracy What is America to me? The house I live in A plot of earth, a street The grocer and the butcher And the people that I meet The children in the playground The faces that I see All races and religions That's America to me A place I work in A worker by my side A little town or city Where my people lived and died The howdy and the handshake The air of feeling free And the right to speak my mind out That's America to me The things I see about me The big things and the small The little corner newsstand And the house a mile tall The wedding and the churchyard A laughter and the tears And the dream that's been a growing For a hundred and eighty years The town I live in The street, the house, the room Pavement of the city Or a garden all in bloom The church, the school, the clubhouse The millions lights I see But especially the people That's America to me
