Life is hard
Times are tough
And the ones who have too much
Seem to never get enough
Traveling through this land
Children dying
On some foreign soil
For God's sake won't you tell me
What is all this fighting for
Traveling through this land
It's the only thing I know
To say my friends
I simply want my country back again
Cause I went driving
Through the American night
And I slowly watched my freedoms
Disappear right out of sight
Traveling through this land
It's the only thing I know
To say my friend
I simply want my country back again
Cause I see people
Just stranded by the road
They're hopeless and forgotten
Where all the milk and honey flows
Traveling through this land
Times are tough
And the ones who have too much
Seem to never get enough
Traveling through this land

On some foreign soil
For God's sake won't you tell me
What is all this fighting for
Traveling through this land
It's the only thing I know
To say my friends
I simply want my country back again

Through the American night
And I slowly watched my freedoms
Disappear right out of sight
Traveling through this land

To say my friend
I simply want my country back again
Cause I see people
Just stranded by the road
They're hopeless and forgotten
Where all the milk and honey flows
