Mason Douglas - I Miss America

We used to be John Wayne and James Dean
From sea to shining sea
We used to be baseball and apple pie
Bringing on the American dream
We used to be Rockwell and rock 'n roll
Standing up for the stars and stripes
We used to be Oh say can you see
Hand on our hearts with pride
But a new generation dividing the nation is hating and
Breaking what made it great and trying to fake it and take it on
Over to the extreme thinking freedom is free
If only they could see the way it used to be
I miss the old days when we came together
And we'd all say let's make better but
That train jumped the track
Let's bring that country back
Home sweet home of the brave
And the bold, yeah, she's something to save
I miss her open arms, I miss her hope and love
But most of all, man, I miss America
We used to be the golden ring, the ivory tower
Standing tall with a backbone
We used to be first world superpower
Now they're laughing all the way back home
It was essential that presidential was consequential 'fore the
Century turned into a crash and a burn and then the
Truth was buried by who's red, who's white, who's blue
I don't give a damn, do you
I miss the old days when we came together
And we'd all say let's make better but
That train jumped the track
Let's bring that country back
Home sweet home of the brave
And the bold, yeah, she's something to save
I miss her open arms, I miss her hope and love
But most of all, man, I miss America
How far we've fallen, y'all, believing we're ballin'
While oppressing all the voices and choices all in
The name of tolerance, this isn't the way to be living
Now we're driven on a mission to cancel division, man
I miss the old days of waving to your neighbor
Hello hey, that ain't the way we playing
The way the odds are stacked
Gotta take our country back
Home sweet home of the brave
And the bold, yeah, she's something worth saving
I miss her open arms, I miss her hope and love
But most of all, man, I miss America
Yeah, man, I miss America
Man, I miss America
