Elton John - England and America Lyrics
(Verse)
Had some good times, jumpin' ship & showin' up on shore
Just pocket change to get us by, a lil bit of grease to help us slide
Give us a nickel and take ur mark to squeeze under the door
Caught some big 1s reeled 'em in & hung em out to dry
From little fish to bigger things, a welcome push an empty swing
Given the chance we'd stop to sing & watch the world go by
(Chorus)
And I tried to take my time to get back up, hold on and climb
Into the arms, you'll always find me in England and America
(England and America) It seems good to hold, to not let go
The safety net still hangs real low & if I fall it's good to know
There's England and America
(Verse 2)
Showed our roots from time to time & used it to ignite
Our wilder side to get up thru' to push and pull, and come unglued
Mixture of red wine and blues
That run right thru' our lives
(Chorus x2)
(Verse)

Into the arms, you'll always find me in England and America
