She dresses up her children
and she herds 'em to the car
Drives down to the mega church
but can't find a place to park
Then she feels a little guilty
when she takes His name in vain
So she folds her last two dollars
and she drops 'em in the plate

It's Sunday morning
Sunday morning in America

His back is out of kilter
from sleeping on concrete
And he'd like
to have some breakfast
but he'd trade it for a drink
Those early morning joggers
they're quick to pass him by
And the ones who drop a dollar
don't dare look him in the eye

Another Sunday morning
Sunday morning in America
Sunday morning
Sunday morning in America

Smell the eggs and bacon
I hear the church bells ring
Cheerleaders shaking on a big screen TV
There's Winnebago's and boats on the lake
And a red-head freckled face blows
out the candles on his birthday cake

It's Sunday morning
Sunday morning in America

He's hunkered in a bunker
with a rifle in his hand
Layin' his life on the line
every inch of sand
But he's dreaming about that freedom
that he's been fighting for
And the arms that will wrap around him
When he comes walking through that door

Some Sunday morning
it's Sunday morning in America
Yeah, Sunday morning
Sunday morning in America

Smell the eggs and bacon
I hear the church bells ring
Cheerleaders shaking
on a big screen TV
There's Winnebago's
and boats on the lake
And a red-head freckled face blows
out the candles on his birthday cake

Yeah, Sunday morning
Sunday morning in America
Sunday morning
Sunday morning in America

Well, I know it ain't perfect
Ya, there's a lot of things
wrong in America
But I thank God for those
who lay down their lives
To make this place my home

Smell the eggs and bacon
I hear the church bells ring
Cheerleaders shaking
on a 57 inch big screen TV
There's trucks on a highway
and sailboats on the lake
And a red-head freckled face blows
out the candles on his birthday cake

It's Sunday morning
yeah, Sunday morning in America
It's Sunday morning
beautiful Sunday morning in America
Oh, Sunday morning
Sunday morning in America, in America
