What Happened?

(album: The Bluegrass Sessions - 2007)

It used to be Andy and Barney Fife
Now it's Howard Stern and the brothel life
Too much crap can drive the world insane
Everybody's singing the jailhouse blues
Don't believe a word of the evening news

Truth that stood for years is down the drain
Trailer parks with a building code
Cul-de-sacs and the country road
High tech bars with bad karaoke sound
Uncle Sam gets your money spent
Pay your ties, can't pay your rent
Foreign cars selling big in American town

What happened, does anybody know?
What happened, where did America go?
Everything Walmart all the time
No more mom and pop, five and dime
What happened, where did America go?
Where did America go?

How did we ever go so wrong
Did we get too high, did we sleep too long
Why did we raise the price of gasoline
I remember the morning the towers fell
I fell back asleep and dreamed of hell
I guess I thought it was all part of my dream

What happened, does anybody know?
What happened, where did America go?
Everything Walmart all the time
No more mom and pop, five and dime
What happened, where did America go?
Where did America go?

Where'd it go boys?
Hey, hey, I'm gonna preach
I miss America
