Ashley Monroe - Pink Houses lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a black man with a black cat Living in a black neighborhood He's got an Interstate Running through his front yard You know he thinks that he's got it so good [Verse 2] And there's a woman in the kitchen Cleaning up the evening slop And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin' I can remember when you could stop a clock" [Chorus] Oh but ain't that America, you and me Ain't that America Something to see baby Ain't that America Home of the free, yeah Little pink houses for you and me, mmm mmm [Verse 3] There's a young man in a t-shirt Listening to a rock 'n roll station He's got greasy hair, greasy smile He said Lord this must be my destination 'Cause they told me when I was younger Said boy, you're gonna be President But just like everything else Those old crazy dreams Just kinda came and went [Chorus] Aw but ain't that America, for you and me Ain't that America Something to see baby Ain't that America Home of the free, yeah Little pink houses for you and me, oh baby [Verse 4] Well there's people and more people What do they know, know, know Go to work in some high rise Vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico There's winners, there's losers But they ain't no big deal 'Cause the simple man baby Pays for the thrills and the bills, and the pills that k** [Chorus] Aw but ain't that America, you and me Ain't that America Something to see baby Ain't that America Home of the free, yeah Aw little pink houses for you and me ah oooh Little pink houses for you and me Little pink houses for you and me
