"Where Did America Go?"

[Verse 1] Factory’s gone, just rust on the gate Daddy's tools collecting dust, it's too damn late Son took off to find work out west Mama prays but feels the weight on her chest [Chorus] Where did America go? The one we used to know With a job for a man and pride in his hands Now it's just talk on the radio Tell me, where did America go? [Verse 2] Used to dream under stars so wide Now the kids pack bags, leave the countryside Empty homes and boarded-up stores They say “move on,” but to what and what for? [Chorus] Where did America go? That fire in the soul Now it’s pills and debt, and folks we forget Like the land don’t even grow Tell me, where did America go? [Bridge] They wave that flag on high While they watch the working man cry Tired feet and busted backs Still can't buy their country back [Chorus – breakdown] Where did America go? We lost it slow and low Like a freight train gone, like a last good song Fading out on a broken road Tell me, where did America go? [Outro – solo and repeat] Tell me now, if you know... Where did America go?
