In America lyrics

Well the eagle s been flying slow
and the flag s been flying low
And a lot of people are saying
that America s fixing to fall
But speaking just for me
and some people from Tennessee
we got a thing or two to tell you all

This lady may have stumbled
but she ain t never fell
And if the Russians don t believe that
they can all go straight to hell
We re gonna put her feet back on
the path of righteousness and then
God bless America again

(chorus)
And you never did think that
it ever would happen again
In America, did you?
You never did think that
we d ever get together again
Well we damn sure fooled you
We re walking real proud and
we re talking real loud again in America
You never did think that
it ever would happen again

From the sound up in Long Island
out to San Francisco Bay
And every thing that s
in between them is our home
And we may have done a little
bit of fighting amongst ourselves
but you outside people best leave us alone

Cause we ll all stick together
and you can take that to the bank
That s the cowboys and the hippies
and the rebels and the yanks
You just go and lay your head
on a Pittsburgh Steeler fan
and I think you re gonna finally understand

(chorus)

Let It Roll lyrics

When I was a boy on my daddys knee
that s when he said these words to me
Said "listen to what I m gonna tell you son
and you can help the world go round
Don t climb no mountain cause you might slip
and I know you ll drown if saving ships
Here s a guitar all shiny and red
and it makes a magic sound"

(chorus)
Roll, roll, let it roll
Let it flood down to your soul
Let it talk, let it swing
Play that music, let it ring

Now you can pick Buddy Holly
Chuck Berry too, and you can
do anything that you wanna do
Won t cause no harm
and never started no wars
and it sounds like father rain
They can call it county, they can call it rock
but I ll play this sucker till the day I drop
If you got any troubles just tune on in
cause it ll ease away your pain

(chorus)

(instrumental)

Some folks get them college degrees
and then they open up an office
and they charge big fees
I never was good for much at all
except for playin kinda loud
I could feel it in my feet
hear it in my head
I even played that music
when I m laying in bed
It never did get me anywhere at all
but it makes me kinda proud

(chorus)

Come on and roll, roll, let it roll
Let it flood down to your soul
Let it talk, let it swing
Play that music, let it ring
