Had some good times jumping ship And showing up on shore Just pocket change to get us by A little bit of grease to help us slide Give us an inch we'd take a mile And squeeze under the door Caught some big ones, reeled 'em in And hung 'em out to dry From little fish to bigger things A welcome push, an empty swing Given the chance we'd start to sing And watch the world go by And I've tried to take my time To get back up, hold on and climb Into the arms you'll always find me In England and America Feels good to hold - to not let go The safety net still hangs below And if I fall it's good to know There's England and America Showed our roots from time to time And used it to ignite Our wilder side to get us through To push and pull and come unglued A mixture of red, white and blues That run right through our life Chorus x 3 England and America England and America
