Cuffed blue jeans, push pedal cars
Little green army men,
‘Time outs, Cooties, No take backs’
All American
‘Hoppy, Roy, Gene The Duke’
Apple pie mixed in
A Little league first home run
All American
Open roads unfurl ahead
As a flag taking hold of the wind
Mirrors reflect an impending past
All American
Dirt and dust, a bug or two
Remnants of where I’ve been
A life that I’ve so come to trust
All American
Welcome to ‘Any Town, USA’
Rooted firmly within?
Hometown heroes, everyday folk
All American
Written upon a cardboard sign
‘Please help a Veteran’
A small price to pay for all the above…
All American
