Ameriko, Ameriko

to su bili snovi moji
otici u Ameriku
dino zive kauboji
Mislio sam sritan biti
Amerika je na glasu
mozda ima zgodnih cura
tamo negdje u Teksasu
Ref. 2x
Ameriko, Ameriko
ti si samo lazna nada
to sto ima Herceg-Bosna
nema Teksas ni Kanada
Obisa' sam pola svita
i trazio ljubav novu
sto bi mogla da zamjeni
krsnu zemlju hercegovu
Al' je nigdi nisam nasa'
pustio sam suzu gorku
u snovima stalno ljubim
svoju malu hercegovku
