Eric Borgos (Songwriter)

I am a songwriter from the USA. I don't play any instruments, so I have other people make the songs for me.

I am a songwriter, but don't play any instruments, so I have other people record the songs for me. Sometimes I sing the song, sometimes the musician does. I am not a good singer, but once in a while I like to try anyway.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Cruisin' down a highway
that'll take me anywhere
skylines built with faith and hope
under rockets reddish glare

I pledge allegiance
give my blood
work my fingers to the bone
a better life
for those to come
from the seeds that I've sown

Chorus:
Lead me to the heartland
and shimmering city lights
keep me safe where I belong
take me home tonight

In the arms of America
in the arms of America

Verse 2:
I wandered through the desert
washed up on distant shores
journeyed deep inside myself
to fight a private war

The stars and stripes
they guide me
with dawn's early light
filling me up
proud and strong
like an eagle taking flight

Pre-Chorus:
One nation stands united
where justice reigns supreme
let's raise a glass to freedom
and to living out our dream

Chorus:
Bring me to the heartland
and golden cities bright
take me somewhere safe and warm
take me home tonight

In the arms of America
in the arms of America
in the arms of America
take me home tonight
