America

I've been thinking about America
My foot on the gas
While I look down the road
Cause I'm driving
As the crow is flying
My son is the passenger
Singing to the radio

Stare out the window waiting for a sign
There's one up ahead
Marks Arizona state line
What's unspoken
All this land we're on was stolen
But I just follow the piper and stick to the plan

So we paid for a ticket to see the Grand Canyon
Cause it's something that you've got to see
Pile out of the car and line up for a photo
Cause that's how you make memories
I'm not sure that I know what I'm trying to say
I just know there's an eagle that's flying above me
Reminding me how I am not really free

Turn off the highway into an American town
All those flags by the mailboxes
Are standing their ground
What do you believe in?
Have we been deceived
If money is king
Then we're all on our knees

So we paid for a ticket to see the Grand Canyon
Cause it's something that you've got to see
All I want for my children is to know they'll be happy
But what does happiness mean?
I'm not sure that I know what I'm trying to say
I just know there's an eagle that's flying above me
Reminding me how I am not really free
