For America - Shawn Mullins

Living on bennies and apple pie

Cigarettes whiskey and a wide open sky

He inspired millions long after he died

On the road, looking for America

Well my buddy’s son joined up with the 48th brigade

One week and a month and a buck sergeants paid

But he lost his right arm on a Baghdad highway

That’s one hell of a price to pay fighting for America

Gardens of stone and dinosaur bones

When they all come back home what will they find?

What will they find?

I dreamed I went back to the Promised Land

I went down to the crossroads and I shook the Devil’s hand

When I woke up I found my self sifting through the sand

And I wondered what was the plan, for America?

For America, for America
