my Favorite song by JAMES BROWN
 

America is my home -James Brown

Talking about me leaving America
You got to be crazy
Man, I like all the nice things, Jack
Continental suits and things
Lookie here

Now I'm sorry for the man
Who don't love this land
Now black and white, they may fight
But if the enemy come, we'll get
Together and run em out of sight

Now lookie here
The sun don't come out in rainy weather
But when you boil it down
They're still together

Now let's not overlook the fact
That we're, we're still in reach
You've got a chance to make it
And you've got freedom of speech
Say what you wanna
Tell em how you feel

There may be a lot of places
A lot of places that you'd like to go
But believe me, if you get an education
You can't blow, you can't hardly blow

Dig this
Now you tell me if I'm wrong
America is still the best country
And that's without a doubt
America's still the best country
Without a doubt

And if anybody says it ain't
You just try to put em out
They ain't going nowhere
You got a good fight

Well, I tell you one time
When I was a shoeshine boy
Every word I said, I meant

But name me any other country
You can start as a shoeshine boy
And shake hands with the President
It ain't gonna happen, you got
To have that royal blood to make it
And I ain't got nothing royal but me

I can't take the chance
So I'm gonna stay home
Now lookie here

I got a brand new jet
When I need to move
A soul brother made it



Now ain't that a groove

So lookie here, brothers and
Sisters and friends, dig this
So quit your dreaming all night
Stop pitying yourself and
Get up and fight

Don't give out, you might
Give up but don't give out
Or if you give out, don't give up
Just don't quit going
I mean like keep it moving
You know, cause if you stop
Like the ball quit rolling

Now we got tunes that carry us
From Florida to Rome
But you know there's one
Thing we'll never forget
America's still our home

Hit it, band
God bless America
I'm talking about me too
You know, I'm American myself
I like that kind of thing
