Americana
Americana
Is down home living
Men leading families
People attending church
But in a fewer places
Meringue pies, black eyed peas
Staples from the South
Big cities with class
Americana
Because the best music, food, and hot spots
Live there
The snow capped mountains
The smokey blue mountains
Awesome mountains
Everywhere in Americana
West coast skaters
Best of show tattoo artists
Catching waves, tasting wine
Hollywood!
Las Vegas strip!
Ladies to their 9s, Men well-groomed, tan
Americana
Means traffic in some places
Coffee on the run
Balancing acts
Americana
Means well wishes from the wishers in every town
But also, watered down education
Americana
Means shooting up drugs
And killing babies
And whack politics
Bad relationship choices
But also, an internet of things
For curious minds and the intelligentsia
All the beautiful ladies in America
Americana
Means American flags — burned or holy
Support the troops
With no media coverage of the wars
Polite exchanges even on a bad day
But, the headbands we wear with a stain of ignorance
Americana
Thousands of home towns
With holy spaces and dirty places
And love and hate thriving on the streets
"We all commonly have a view of the sky."
