Karaoke Pink Houses (acoustic version) John Mellencamp

There was a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood

He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard

You know he thinks he's got it so good

And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop

And he looks at her and says

Darlin' I can remember when you could stop a clock

Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America

We're somethin' to see baby

Ain't that America

Home of the free yeah

Little pink houses for you and me

There for you and me

Well there's a young man in a T-shirt listenin' to a rock and rollin' station

He's got a greasy hair and greasy smile

He says Lord this must be my destination

'Cos they told me when I was younger

Boy you gon' be president

But just like everything else those old crazy dreams just kinda came and went

Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America

We're somethin' to see baby

Ain't that America

Home of the free yeah

Little pink houses for you and me

Oh for you and me

Well there's people and more people

What do they know, know, know

Go to work in some high rise and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico

And there's winners and there's losers but they ain't no big deal

'Cos the simple man baby pays the bills and the thrills and the pills that kill

Us in America for you and me

But ain't that America

Girl we're somethin' to see baby

Ain't that America

Home of the free

Little pink houses for you and me

Oh for you and me

Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America

We're somethin' to see baby

Ain't that America

Home of the free yeah

Little pink houses for you and me

Oh for you and me
