(Verse 1)

I"m ploughin' a field in Illinois
Raisin' a crop to feed my wife and boys
I'm America

I'm a single mom, and that's hard to be
Work three jobs eight days a week
I'm America

I'm a guitar picker singin' protest songs
Bob Dylan was right, Vietnam was wrong
I'm America

I lost my legs fightin' in a war
If I could, I'd go back for more
I'm America

(Chorus)

I'm left and right
Black and white
And everything in between

I'm North and South
Faith and doubt
I'm all I can be

Look around at all I am and all I'm made of
I'm America

(Verse 2)

This mornin' I pulled out of Roanoke
Drivin' a big rig to the coast
I'm America

I teach third grade in Tennessee
I could use a raise, but I'd do it for free
I'm America

Detroit City is my home town
Might've built the car you're drivin' around
I'm America

I'm a volunteer with Project Hope
Went down to New Orleans when the levy broke
I'm America

(Bridge)

America's more than a piece of land
It's blood and bones, it's woman and man
It lives, it breathes, it hopes, it dreams
It looks a lot like you and me

(End Chorus)

Cause we're left and right
We're black and white
We're everything in between

We're North and South
We're faith and doubt
We're all we can be

Look around at all we are and all we're made of
We're America
