Song Lyrics

Travel down any road in America
From the farmlands to the mountains, the oceans to the streams
Travel down any road in America
Each one leads straight to the heart of the American Dream

I met a teacher in California
Said she does all she can for her kids
I met a trucker heading to Texas
Said he just drives the same highways his daddy did
Met a mechanic from Missouri
He knows just how to make an engine run right
I met a preacher in Alabama
Said he's just doing his best to shine a light

Travel down any road in America
From the farmlands to the mountains, the oceans to the streams
Travel down any road in America
Each one leads straight to the heart of the American Dream

I met a farmer in Ohio
Said he's just praying that his crops all will grow
Met an innkeeper in Colorado
Said soon they'll be calling for snow
I met a ranch hand in Wyoming
Said the work is hard but you can't beat the view
I met a waitress up in Michigan
Said she thanks God she's got a job to do

I met a pilot in Arizona
He goes from town to town just flying through the air
I met a doctor in Rhode Island
She brings the aged her tender loving care

Met a cab driver in New York City
He showed me where the towers once stood tall
Said America lost so much that tragic day
And still we stand together one and all

I met a sailor in Baltimore Harbor
She had a mission that was burning in her young eyes
I met a soldier going home to Georgia
He loved this country with every inch of his life

Travel down any road in America
From the farmlands to the mountains, the oceans to the streams
Travel down any road in America
Each one leads straight to the heart of the American Dream
Travel down any road in America
