Lyrics
Give me a home
where the buffalo roam
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Give me a home
where children aren't hungry
where peace and freedom reign
Give me a home where poverty's a stranger
and noone is left alone
Oh give me a home
where rivers run free
and everybody wears blue jeans
where a friend is a friend
and love knows no end
and everything is what it seems
Give me a home
where there are no fences
and no no trespassing signs
Give me a home
where every road's a dirt road
and there are no property lines
O beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain
for purple mountains majesty above thy fruitful plains
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
and crowned thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shing sea
where the deer and the antelpe play
where the skies are not cloudy all day
where the deer and the antelope play
