lyrics

When I look in American eyes
At the distance between you and I
Sad as the sun in your hair
I wonder what I'm doing here
Asleep in American arms
And freezing out in the yard
Old as American eyes
The hell between you and I

So here we go
Welcome to my home
The home I've never known
Leave your boots by the door

When they were looking west
With heaven on their heads
I wonder if they said over there
We will find the sunset

When I look in American eyes
At the border between you and I
Laugh at the war we have got
Keeping the cold that we caught

Asleep in American arms
And dreaming out on the lawn
Told in American eyes
The hell between you and I

Just let it go
It's hard this I known
But welcome to my home
The home I've never known
And here we go
Welcome to my home
The home I've never known
Leave your boots by the door

And everybody knows
That we are growing old
Doing like we're told over here
And watching the sunset
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
