America Lyrics - Private Audition - Heart

My daddy told me about the old glory days 

But I made up my mind about Daddy's ways 

We followed King to Atlanta and got the slaves all free 

And the ladies come out from behind the fans of gentry 

America 

America 

How you've broken free 

America 

America 

Was your destiny 

I was at Daddy's bedside the night that he went 

He whispered real sad "the south won't rise again" 

They've all gone to Chicago to lose the slow accent 

Leaving me behind wondering where we went
