Backstreets Video (MV)

I've been travelin down the back streets of America
Across her highways and up and down her trails.

I raised myself on the back streets of America
Them open highways and green mountain trails.

Some like to speak bad yes about America
Blood stains on her soil and on her flag.

Yea freedom's had a rocky road in America
But if you can't see the good, I don't want to hear about the bad.
No if you can't see the good, I don't want to hear about the bad.

Show me any place where freedom shines, I'll show the mistakes
It's just mankind, not just America, oh no no no

Well the angels they complained when the world was made,
They said In human hands you sure you want this freedom placed?
And a voice came out singing, Its gonna be alright.

Yes but freedom now it's got a heavy price
Yea but freedom, it's got a heavy price.

Well there ain't no time to sit around complain
I'm tryin to fix the United States of America
Oh yea that's true

Ain't nobody here every got a free ride
It's been years of hard work and people gave their lives for America
Oh yes that's true
Freedom's been good to me, I hope it's been good to you

I'm still traveling them back streets of America
Some places make me smile, others make me cry
Don't know the future of the back streets of America
Only thing I know for sure is it's in your hands and mine
Yea it's in your hands, in your hands and mine

Well we've come too far to let it go to waste
But it sure does hurt these growing pains of America oh yes that's true
We know Rome wasn't built in a day
How such a powerful thing could just crumble and fade
Wake up America before freedom yea, yea it slips away
Oh yea freedom, it could slip away
