Our Country Tab

by John Cougar Mellencamp


                       
Well I can stand beside ideals I think are right

                          
And I can stand beside the idea to stand and fight

                     
I do believe there's a dream for everyone

         
This is our country



                            
There's room enough here for science to live

                                
And there's room enough here for religion to forgive

                            
And try to understand all the people of this land

         
This is our country


Chorus:

         
From the east coast 

       
To the west coast

                          
Down the dixie highway back home

         
This is our country



                       
That poverty could just another ugly thing

                         
And bigotry would be seen only as obscene

                                    
And the ones that understand help the poor and common man

         
This is our country


Chorus:


                            
The dream is still alive someday it will come true

                              
And this country it belongs to folks like me and you

                          
So let the voice of freedom sing out through this land

         
This is our country


Chorus (2X)


Woody would love it!
