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
