For America |
| Living on bennies and apple pie |
| Cigarettes whiskey and a wide open sky |
| He inspired millions long after he died |
| On the road, looking for America |
| Well my buddy’s son joined up with the 48th brigade |
| One week and a month and a buck sergeants paid |
| But he lost his right arm on a Baghdad highway |
| That’s one hell of a price to pay fighting for America |
| Gardens of stone and dinosaur bones |
| When they all come back home what will they find? |
| What will they find? |
| I dreamed I went back to the Promised Land |
| I went down to the crossroads and I shook the Devil’s hand |
| When I woke up I found my self sifting through the sand |
| And I wondered what was the plan, for America? |
| For America, for America |
