Graduated in ‘93
Found me a job in a factory
2001 they all let us go
These jobs are moving to Mexico

If I could catch me a plane I’d head straight out of here
To a time and a place where I felt self-assured
Spinning out of control, too many changes way too fast
And we are out of touch with the things that matter more

So I joined in the Army corps
Thought I could make me there so much more
Then 9/11 just hit the store
Next thing I knew I was in a war

If I could catch me a plane I’d head straight out of here
I’d go back to this place that I call home
I’d go back to this love of mine
The rolling hills and the warm sunshine
The trusted faces of my hometown
I’d drive my girlfriend around

CNN shows this fighting man
I’ve got an M16 in my hands
Apache 10 o’clock incoming low
We’ll tell these bastards where they can go

Well If I could catch me a plane I’d head straight out of here
I’d go back to this place that I call home
I’d go back to this love of mine
The rolling hills and the warm sunshine
The trusted faces of my hometown
I’d drive my girlfriend around

America
America
Some criticize and demonize America
Some claim that they’re so tired of America
But they want their laundry done on time by America
And they call themselves a friend of mine and America
