Elton John - England And America lyrics

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 a nickel and take your mark To 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 stop to sing And watch the world go by And I 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 (England and America) It seems good to hold, to not let go The safety net still hangs real low 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 up through To push and pull, and come unglued Mixture of red wine and blues That run right through our lives And I 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 (England and America) It seems good to hold, to not let go The safety net still hangs real low And if I fall it's good to know There's England and America And I 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 (England and America) It seems good to hold, to not let go The safety net still hangs real low And if I fall it's good to know There's England and America England and America England and America
