Description
What America Means to me is a song about all the things that make America great. In this song you can hear all the things you'd find on a sunny midwestern day in America; A fruit stand, a maching band, a kid selling lemonade, fireworks, t-shirts, and an afternoon parade.
Lyrics
What America Means to Me By Scott Wilcox (c) June, 2011 The Faraway soldier is giving us a dream Of endless freedom and possibility When they walk down the street I go up to them and say thank you for all you do to protect the USA A fruit stand and a marching band, a kid sellin' lemonade Fireworks and t-shirts and an afternoon parade. A party on the city block, and music in the street. That's what America means to me. Here's to the teacher and the guy that works the field Here's to the mason and the man that makes steel. Here's to the momma and the daddy that raise young Making America into what it can become. Family, community and the freedom to believe free voice to make a noise from sea to shining sea For what it means, the American Dream, is alive and so it seems That's what America means to me. Bridge Down deep I know you Believe it too Its time to work hard and make it true! Every job is a good job, says the guy who works the store Honor's in the quality, says the guy who sweeps the floor Work hard and love more, I thought I heard him say And they're proud to live in the good ol' USA (cuz we got) A fruit stand and a marching band, a kid sellin' lemonade Fireworks and t-shirts and an afternoon parade. (A tractor pull where the stands are full by the NTPA) A party on the city block, and music in the street. That's what America means to me.
