Ashley Monroe - Pink Houses lyrics

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

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"

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

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

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

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 kill

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
