Lyrics
GOOD WITH THE U.S.A.
Would you want to stand beside me
You?re gon? know before I?m through
We don?t see eye to eye on everything
But then most families never do
So I feel I got something to say
It don?t seem right for me to hide it away
I?ll just come right out with it and say
But don?t be surprised if it ain?t nothing new
It?s the way I feel?.how about you ?
I?m still good with the U.S.A
Plenty of us feel the same way
We ain?t afraid to get up and say
Hey ! by the way?..
I?m still good with the U.S.A
Like doin? my thing the American way
I?m still good with the U.S.A
By the way !
Now I ain?t a one for speeches
You won?t often find my heart pinned on my sleeve
But from Atlantic to Pacific
That?s where you?ll find the finest air that you can breathe
That?s what I believe
And maybe it?s a little out of style
Maybe the thought of that makes some folks smile
Well they?ll get their chance up on the stump in a while
But it?s my turn now, they can wait till then
So if you?re out there listenin? I?m gonna sing it again because
I?m still good with the U.S.A
Plenty of us feel the same way
We ain?t afraid to get up and say
Hey ! by the way?..
I?m still good with the U.S.A
Like doin? my thing the American way
I?m still good with the U.S.A
By the way !
I ain?t looking for a reason to doubt it
But I ain?t blind and I still think about it
To come right to it, when the chips are down
I?m proud to be part of the best game in town
And that?s the way it?s gonna stay
And I?m glad I was raised that way
I?m still good with the U.S.A
I?m still good with the?.
I?m still good with the U.S.A
Plenty of us feel the same way
We ain?t afraid to get up and say
Hey ! by the way?..
I?m still good with the U.S.A
Like doin? my thing the American way
I?m still good with the U.S.A
By the way !
