In the Place Where I Live

 Words and music M. Novak & K Johnson

 

In the land that I love    I can be what I want to be

In the place that I live    I go freely from sea to sea

In the land that I love    the lights are always on

In the place that I live    I’m free to sing any song

 

CHORUS

America – It’s not Nirvana           But no place will ever be

America – It’s not that perfect    Pulling together is the key

America – It’s not Nirvana           But she’s alright with me

 

In the place that I call home    when bad weather is on the way

I know I’m never ever alone    folks come to help from miles away

In the land that I love     I can marvel at Yosemite and Yellowstone

In the land where I live     I don’t have to bow down to a throne.

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

If you can’t see the good things    Then where do you live

If you can’t see the good things    Did you forget how to give

If you can’t feel the good things   Have you even tried

If you can’t feel the good things   When did you die inside

 

 

In the land that I love    we used to listen to what others say

In the place where I live    now some people preach doom and gloom everyday

In the place that I call home   great men of the past did whats right for the country

In the land that I love    Just listen to reason not the political parties

 

CHORUS

It's all about the music
