We speak in broken American, from the inlands to the shore
From the high plains to the badlands, from the mountains to the valley floor
And the streets were not paved with gold, every man could find a wage
But now I don't know where to go, to work the live long day
And now I've got to leave this place oh, back to my sweet land
oh, now I got to leave this place oh oh, back to my sweet land
We speak in broken American, from the inlands to the shore
They tell us how the West was won, and what to fight for
And they say they wouldn't send us far, and that most of us could stay
We speak in broken American, and we got the news today
And now I've got to leave this place, oh, back to my sweet land
Oh, now I got to leave this place oh oh, back to my sweet land
Say bye bye, say bye bye 2x
(Unsure) "So I signed off, I lied about my age,
and soon we're shipping out, soon we on a plane,
you kissed my cheek, said my face was on fire,
I pulled away from the little one trying not to cry"(Unsure)
Say bye bye, say bye bye
