Lyrics America First - Merle Haggard

America First

Why don’t we liberate these United States
We’re the ones that need it worst
Let the rest of the world help us for a change
And let’s rebuild America first
Our highways and bridges are falling apart:
Who’s blessed and who has been cursed?
There’s things to be done all over the world
But let’s rebuild America first
Who’s on the Hill and who’s watching the valley?
And who’s in charge of it all?
God bless the army and God bless our liberty
And dadgum the rest of it all
Yeah, men in position are backing away
Freedom is stuck in reverse
Let’s get out of Iraq and get back on the track
And let’s rebuild America first
Why don’t we liberate these United States
We’re the ones who need it the most
You think I’m blowing smoke?
Boys it ain’t no joke
I make twenty trips a year from coast to coast
