God bless this American Mess
I was born in a small town in the Great lakes state
On Motor City Rock and Roll and Soul I was raised
Worked pipelines in Texas and Tennessee
Hitched my way from Dallas to Albuquerque
So don't be surprised when I get up to sang
there's a little bit a drawl in my midwest twang
I'm a bit of a mess I must confess but
God Bless this American mess
God Bless this American mess
The Blue States and the Red States and all the rest
Left and Right and Pink and Brown
God Bless this American Mess
Motown Funkadelic and Bluegrass too
Are all tasty chunks of this American Stew
John Lee Hooker and Johnny Cash
Huevos Rancheros and corned beef hash
Aretha Franklin and Loretta Lynn
We got ourselves a little bit of everything
It's a bit of a mess I must confess
God bless this American Mess
God Bless this American Mess
The Blue States The Red states and all the rest
Left and Right and Up and Down
God Bless this American Mess
God bless This American Mess
The continental congress and the civil war
Emancipation, Prohibition , a whole lot more
Heated Disagreement ain't nothing new
Underneath the Flag of Red White and Blue
America's been through tough times before
Where will be the border of the next civil warr ?
It's a bit of a mess I must Confess
God Bless this American Mess
God Bless this American Mess
The Blue State The Red states and all the rest
Left and Right Going Round and Round
God Bless this American Mess
God Bless This American Mess
God Bless This American Mess
