  • Well, I can stand beside ideas 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 other people of this land
    This is our country

    From the east coast to the west coast
    Down the Dixie Highway
    Back home
    This is our country

    And poverty could be just another ugly thing
    And bigotry would be seen only as obscene
    And the ones that run this land
    Help the poor and common man
    This is our country

    From the east coast to the west coast
    Down the Dixie Highway
    Back home
    This is our country

    The dream is still alive
    Some day 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

    From the east coast to the west coast
    Down the Dixie Highway
    Back home
    This is our country

    From the east coast to the west coast
    Down the Dixie Highway
    Back home
    This is our country Writer/s: JOHN MELLENCAMP
