[Intro 1]
[Am]
[F][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
At [Am]night only crickets
[F]No prowlers, no sir[Em]ens
[Am]No pinky ring hustlers
[Em]No angel[F] dust Byrons
[Em]No b[F]ars on[Dm] the windows[Em]
No [Dm]sabre- toothed neigh[Em]bors
Just [F]good simple folks
In [G]a rainbow of [Am]flavors

[Verse 2]
[F]Somewhere in Ame[Em]rica[Am]
There's [F]a street named
[G]after my [Am]dad[G][F]
And the [G]home we never
[Am]had
[F][Am]

[Verse 3]
[F]
I'll [Am]work for Mr. Fowler
[F]Making fifty cents an hour
[Am]And I'll save what I can
[F]So I can get a piece of land
[Am]I'll raise[Dm] some cows[Em] and carrots
Get [Dm]ahead on [Em]my own merits
An[F]d if I fall I'll take it like a [G]man[Am][Em]

[Verse 4]
[F]Somewhere in Ame[Em]rica[Am]
There's [F]a street named
[G]after my [Am]dad
[G]Mm- hm- hm, [F]and the hom[G]e we nev
[Am]er had

[Verse 5]
No more [Am]bland TV dinners
No [F]ten car [Dm]collisions
[Am]No showbiz beginners
Mak[F]ing global decisions
[Dm]No d[Em]aycare Fellinis
No [Dm]fast [Em]food assassins
No [F]billboard bikinis
Just [G]truth and com[Am]passion
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[F]Somewhere in [Em]Amer
[Am]ica
[F]There's a street named [G]after my [Am]dad
Oh [F]whoa whoa, and the [G]home

[Am]in America
