America Street Lyrics - Honor Among Thieves - Edwin Mccain

Rubber on my tires making contact with the road 

Sign on the street post tells me which way I should go 

Riding down America Street funny that it's one way 

Riding down from uptown to where the buildings are broken down in decay 

America Street it's right nearby 

Land of the free and the brave 

If we can't work and make some change 

There won't be much of this land left to save 

It's a classic case of misdirection and slight of hand 

We watch while our deficit grows 

What a shame that we can't teach our kids to read 

Makes you wonder where all the tax money goes 

Well America Street it's right nearby 

Land of the free and the brave 

And if we can't work and make some change 

There won't be much of this land left to save 

Won't be much to save 

Excuse me sir pardon me can you spare some change 

Because it's cold and I live outside 

A thoughtful search into my pockets finds enough so he can rocket 

Right up to the bar and enjoy his lie 

America Street it's right nearby 

Land of the free and the brave 

And if we can't work and make some change 

There won't be much of this land left to save 

Won't be much to save
