Spirit Of America

(album: Just One Night - 1991)

Just a handful of heroes
Waving flags across the world
Fast food and freedom
Iron hand in velvet glove

For a fistful of dollars
Anything at a price
It's always a gamble
Say your prayers and roll the dice

History for you and me
Stretching out miles and miles
Liberty, equality
That's never going out of style, yeah

(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
Doing okay just a heartbeat away
(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
You burn from coast to coast
(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
It's everybody's dream
There's a new tomorrow now

The last lonesome cowboy
Turns to make his final stand
Tall in the saddle
Burning rifle in his hand

Now his world is a memory
And the freeway takes him home
Too tired and weary
For the man to stand alone

Reaching out, pushing hard
Finding your way at last
Shaking loose, breaking through
Build a future from the past, yeah

(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
Doing okay just a heartbeat away
(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
Burn from coast to coast
(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
It's everybody's dream
There's a new tomorrow now

History for you and me
Stretching out miles and miles
Liberty, equality
That's never going out of style, yeah

(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
Doing okay just a heartbeat away
(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
Burn from coast to coast
(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
It's everybody's dream
There's a new tomorrow

(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
Doing okay just a heartbeat away
(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
Burn from coast to coast
(Spirit of America) That's the spirit of America
It's everybody's dream
There's a new tomorrow
