_ I've [A] traveled all [D] around this country In my [A] time I thought I'd [D] seen it all _
[G] But today I [A] took a detour [Bm] down a back road [D]
Through [E] a little town whose name I [A] can't recall _
[D] There were old men [A] on benches [D] playing checkers And children [A] playing hopscotch [D] on the square _
[G] And high above [A] a statue [Bm] of an unknown [G]
soldier [D] Old glory [A] was waving in [D] the air _ _
_ [Bm] Suddenly [G] I realized [D] what I'd too long forgotten [Bm] That she rose up [G] like mountains on [A] my skin _

_ _ _ _ I knew to [A] stop would throw me off [D] my schedule But I parked around [A] behind the five and dime

_ [D] Kids recording [A] Netflix also [D] the fountain _ Like we did before [A] they built the [D] shopping mall
I [G] saw so [A] many reasons [Bm] why I love [G] this country [D] You know some things never really change at all
_ [Bm] As I left the two [G]-lane road and pulled [D] back on that super highway
[Bm] I thought of what [G] I'd seen back [A] in that town And [Bm] it hit me [G] like a freight train
_ [D] That a stone's throw [G] from the fast lane _
_ [D] America [A] is still safe [D] and sound _ _
