American By God's Amazing Grace
Bottom of my boots sure are gettin' worn there's a lot of holes in this faded uniform My hands are black with dirt and so is my face I aint never been to hell but it couldn't be any worse than this place. Tell my wife don't worry 'cause I know what to do it makes you feel better sometimes, but don't know if it's true. I know if I die it's just my time to go but I pray to God every day that I may get back home. Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have 'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American by Gods Amazing Grace. For the last twelve months I've had a new address the neighborhood smells like sewerage and the streets are lined with trash. You never know what's gonna be the next thing to explode but unlike these people, I have another home. It breaks my heart to see these kids out on the streets walking barefoot through the trash, diggin' for something to eat. I give them what I got, just to let them know I care and I thank God it's not my son that's standing there.

You want to talk about it, you better keep it short cause I got a lot of lost time I gotta make up for. Really don't care why Bush went in to Iraq I know what I done there and I'm damn sure proud of that. You got somethin' bad to say about the USA you better save it for different ears 'less you want to crawl away. And I laugh in your face when you say you've got it bad until you've spent some time on the streets of Baghdad Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have 'Cause you could be raising your family in this place but you were born in America, By God's Amazing Grace!!!!
