[D]

Well I took a left out of my driveway

Hit that long and lonesome highway

Figured I'd make my way across this land

Slow ride, no hurry, I'll be back, don't you worry

First song I ever sang was Travelin' Man

Freedom never comes without a cost

I've paid my dues, but I'm not lost

Chorus:

I'm just out here, lookin' for America

She's getting harder and harder to find

In the hearts of common people everywhere

She's alive and doing fine

And I'm just out here, I'm lookin' for America

Oh I love that rolling motion, mountain, valley, river, ocean

Got it going, I get the notion, I can't stay still

Colorado, West Virginia, aw that road can sure get in ya

Rode my pony through those Oklahoma hills

I saddle up, I just let her run, California, here I come

Chorus

Now Charlie he's a Harley man, "Live to ride," that's his plan

He took a hit in Vietnam, but he's doing alright

Instead of two wheels he rides three

His legs ain't what they used to be

But he fought that war for you and me, believing it was right

Standing at that long black wall silently, says it all

Chorus

Now some say things are getting worse, the attitude is Me First

And I know this world could die of thirst without love

But I've been in towns from state to state

We can turn it around, it ain't too late

This country is still a great place to live

And I've talked to young people all across this land

I'm telling you the future's in damn good hands

Chorus
