England And America - Elton John

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
