I Miss America

I miss America And I’ve never been there It may seem impossible Nothing but an affair I miss America And that colorful flag The girl from Pennsylvania Past full of sweat and blood I miss America White and black skin, Dominant race or just a sin But still loving the dream it means I miss America Young, wild, magnificent New World A stolen country from those who saw it born Mohawk or Cherokee, savages For the ones who don’t understand I miss America At least the idea of it Like Sinatra I’ll do it in my way The day we can finally meet
