My daddy told me about the old glory days |
|
But I made up my mind about Daddy's ways |
|
We followed King to Atlanta and got the slaves all free |
|
And the ladies come out from behind the fans of gentry |
|
America |
|
America |
|
How you've broken free |
|
America |
|
America |
|
Was your destiny |
|
I was at Daddy's bedside the night that he went |
|
He whispered real sad "the south won't rise again" |
|
They've all gone to Chicago to lose the slow accent |
|
Leaving me behind wondering where we went |
|
America |
|
America |
|
Are you losing your mind |
|
America |
|
America |
|
Don't leave me behind |
