 x 2
   Drivin' down the street today,  I saw the sign for lemonade
   They were the cutest kids I'd ever Em seen in this front  yard
   As they handed me my glass,  smiled and thinkin' to myself
   Man, what a picture perfect  postcard this would  make of America
   It's a high school  prom. It's a springstein  song
 It's a ride in a  cheverlet
   It's a man on the  moon, and fireflies in  June
 Kids sellin'  lemonade
 It's  cities and farms and  open arms
   One nation under  god.
 It's America
   Later on when I got home,  I flipped the TV on
   I saw a little town that some big  twister tore a-  part
   People came from miles around  just to help their neighbors out
   And I was thinkin' to my self, I'm  so glad that I  live in America
  G It's a high school C prom. It's a springstein Am song
 It's a ride in a D cheverlet
  G It's a man on the C moon, and fireflies in Am June
 Kids sellin' D lemonade
 It's Am cities and farms and C open arms
   One nation under  god.
 It's America
 Now Em we don't always get it alright
 There's Am noplace else I rather D build my life
  G Cause it's a kid with a C chance. It's a rock n roll Am band
 It's a farmer D cuttin' hay
  G It's a big flag C flyin' in the summer wind
  Am Over some fallen D hero's grave.
  A It's a high school D prom. It's a springstein Bm song
 It's a welcome E home parade
  A It's a man on the D moon and fireflies in Bm June
 Kids sellin' E lemonade
 It's Bm cities and farms and D open arms
   One nation under  god
 It's America
 It's America
 Oh, yeah, oh!
