[Verse 1]
|
She dresses up her children and herds them to the car, drives down to the mega-church and can't find a place to park.
|
Then she feels a little guilty when she takes his name in vein,
|
so she folds her last two dollars and she drops them in the plate, its morning Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America.
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
His back is out of kilter from sleepin on concrete and he'd like to have some breakfast but he'll trade it for a drink,
|
those early morning joggers their quick to pass him by and the ones that drop a dollar don't they don't dare look him in the eye.
|
Another Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America. Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Smell the eggs and bacon, hear the church bells ring, cheerleaders shakin on a big screen TV,
|
there's Winnebago's and boats on the lake and a red head, freckled face blows out the candles on his birthday cake.
|
Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America.
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
He's hunkered in a bunker with a rifle in his hand, layin his life on the line for every inch of sand.
|
He dreamin about that freedom that he's been fightin for and the arms that will wrap around him
|
when he comes walkin through that door, some Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America.
|
Yea Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Smell the eggs and bacon, hear the church bells ring, cheerleaders shakin on a big screen TV,
|
there's Winnebago's and boats on the lake and a red head, freckled face blows out the candles on his birthday cake.
|
Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America.
|
Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America.
|
|
[Bridge]
|
Now I know it aint perfect, there's a lot of things wrong in America,
|
I thank God for those who layed down their lives to call this place my home.
|
|
[Chorus 2:]
|
Smell the eggs and bacon, hear the church bells ring, cheerleaders shakin on a 57 inch big screen TV,
|
there's trucks on the highway and sail boats on the lake and a red head, freckled face blows out the candles on his birthday cake.
|
Sunday morning, yea Sunday morning in America.
|
Its Sunday morning in America, beautiful Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America.
