Some have said, down through history 
If you last it's a mystery 
But I guess they don't know, what they're talking about 
From the mountains down to the sea 
You've become such a habit with me 
America, America 

Well I come from, down around Tennesee 
But the people in California 
Are nice to me, America 
It don't matter where I may roam 
Tell you people that it's home sweet home 
America, America 

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too 
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you 
Promise and then follow through, America 

And the men, who fell on the plains 
And lived, through hardship and pain 
America, America 
And the men who could not fight 
In a war that didn't seem right 
You let them come home, America 

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too 
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you 
Promise and then follow through, America 

Well I come from, down around Tennesee 
But the people in California 
Are nice to me, America 
It don't matter where I may roam 

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too 
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you 
Promise and then follow through, America 

Tell you people that it's home sweet home 
America, America 
America, America 

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too 
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you 
Promise and then follow through, America 

It's home sweet home, Amer-ica 
America, America
