I'm chasing down a memory 
Of the way that things used to be 
Kids playing underneath and old street light 
Knowing they were safe when they laid down at night 
I'm looking for something I ain't seen in a while 
I'm looking for a factory 
Where a man can feed his family 
Not worried about them moving it south 
Closing the doors and shutting her down tomorrow 
I'm looking for America 

The land of the free and the home of the brave 
Seems like I just woke up one day 
And it was gone, long gone 
But I know in my heart it's still out there 
Can somebody please tell me where 
I'm looking for America 

I'm searching for an old church steeple 
Where inside you'll find people 
Who live their lives unashamed 
And they ain't afraid to say God's name outloud 
Yeah I'm looking for America 

I'm out here looking for the truth 
A few folks to waive the red, white and blue 
Who still believe freedom isn't free 
And I guess it's up to you and me to find it 
Yeah we've got to find it 
Cause we're looking for
