CI've traveled G7all around this Ccountry
In my time I G7thought I'd seen it Call
But toFday I took a G7detour down a Amback-roadG7  
Through a D7little town whose name I can't G7recall
There were Cold men on G7benches playing Ccheckers
Children playing G7hopscotch on the Csquare
And Fhigh above a G7statue of an Amunknown Fsoldier
Old CGlory was G7waving in the Cair
AmSuddenly I Frealized what CI'd too long forgotten
A Amchill rose up like Fmountains on my G7skin
OverAmcome with the Ffeeling I Cknew I was Fseeing
CAmerica all G7over Cagain
A—Fmer-iG7cana
FPictures of a G7people proud and Cfree
A—Amm-erFicana, D7I'll keep G7holding to the AmdreamG7  
You're Fstill what G7living means to Cme
I knew to stop G7would throw me off my Cschedule
But I parked around G7behind the Five and CDime
There's Fsomething 'bout a G7small town in the AmsummerG7  
Like a D7Norman Rockwell picture back in G7time
Kids were Ccourting at the G7Rexall soda Cfountain
Like we did before they G7built the shopping Cmall
I saw Fso many G7reasons Amwhy I love this Fcountry
You Cknow some things never G7really change at Call
AmAs I left the 2 lane Froad and pulled Cback on that superhighway
I Amthought of what I'd Fseen back in that G7town
And it Amhit me like a Ffreight train
That a Cstone's throw from the Ffast lane
CAmerica is G7still safe and Csound
A—Fmer-iG7cana
FPictures of a G7people proud and Cfree
CA—Amm-erFicana, D7I'll keep G7holding to the AmdreamG7  
You're Fstill what G7living means to Cme
