Story Behind The Song
Hello, as with almost all the songs that I write, I put any lyrics in that sound like they nicely suit the melody and tone when the idea for the melody comes, then lyric the rest of the song when I have a clear theme from the initial lyrics. Stacy Hogan helped me finish off the song.

Lyrics
Even if I tried to say
The way things used to be
Would you even understand
Just what this means to me
I left your shores many years ago
Places I had to see
But now I'm coming home again
Now this has to be
I'm going back to America the land of the free
Back to America the way it used to be
I'm going back to America the land of the free
Back to America the way it used to be
America you are my friend
My love forever more
You welcomed me with open arms
When I reached your shores
If only I could tell you
Just what this means to me
United States of America
The place where I can be
I'm going back to America the land of the free
Back to America the way it used to be
I'm going back to America the land of the free
Back to America the way it used to be, yeah
I'm going back to America the way it used to be
