Went down to the river
On an August day
Never really left from there
Until the ides of May

Moved on from my hometown
To another place
Traveling back and forth from there
Wide big open space

When I'm in the country
I feel there's something wrong

There's many many people here
That feel they don't belong
Many many people here
That feel they don't belong


Went up to Alaska
And down to Tennessee
There's people living over there
Just like you and me

Working longer hours
Little to no pay
When the market sours
Things don't go their way

When I'm in the country
I feel there's something wrong

There's many many people there
That feel they don't belong
Many many people there
That feel they don't belong


Now I know there's problems
That we can't seem to solve
Let's not let hate divide us
Let's work now to resolve


Now I never really know
When I will be home
Hope to never go back
If some luck I'm shown

But I know I will be back
And problems I will face
Dealing with those people
Who hate ya cause of race

When I'm in the country
I know there's something wrong

There's many many people there
That feel they don't belong
Many many people there
That feel they don't belong
