America the Beautiful / Dixie Lullaby / Chicken Fried (Live At the 52nd Grammy® Awards) - Zac Brown Band/Leon Russell

Oh beautiful for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain

America America

God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea

Why don't you gather round me people got a song to sing

About that sweet magnolia thyme

Black-eyed Susan made some catfish stew

And papa brought some homemade wine

All you southern children like to rock'n roll

The TV mamas tell you why

They got it on the boat from Africa

It's that Dixie Lullaby

Blind Willie Time he had a dime shoe shine

Stand down on Beale Street

Willie would stop and just to say hello

All the shoes he'd meet

Why are you so happy said the clean white buck

You got no reason to be happy Mr Time

Willie just smiled and he dropped his rag

It's that Dixie lullaby

I thank god for my life

And for the stars and stripes

May freedom forever fly let it ring

Salute the ones who died

The ones that give their lives

So we don't have to sacrifice

All the things we love

Like our chicken fried

And cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

I love to see the sun rise

See the love in my woman's eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother's love

Get a little chicken fried

And cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

I love to see the sun rise

See the love in my woman's eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother's love
