Lady America
Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller
I love your Rocky Mountains for your gentle winds and snows
I love you California for your beauty girls and wine
Lady America, I love you 'cos you're mine
I love old New York city, she's been good to me at times
Like the time I couldn't call my mama 'cos I didn't have a dime
Lord I love I love I love you and I want to tell you one more time
Lady America, I love you 'cos you're mine
My mind keeps going back to Oklahoma
It's my home and where I come from
Life is living and I've done some
Love I love you and I want to tell you one more time
Lady America, I love you 'cos you're mine
My mind keeps going back to Oklahoma
It's my home and where I come from
Life is living and I've done some
Love I love you and I want to tell you one more time
Lady America, I love you 'cos you're mine
