lyrics

Fire up the sirens

Every time the home team scores

Waving flags like we won the war

Cheer like a mob, wail like a whore

Rooting for the company store

Giving all we've got and more for Real America



The Faithful of the heartland

Waiting on the end of days

With how things go they'll get their way

Those wide rusty boulevards

Stretch till the West just fades

Make me want to pray for Real America



Real deal tried true

Red white black blue



You can ride a cadillac

The back of old King Kong

The long white line to Babylon

Whip our mules from east to west

Back where we belong

Wondering what went wrong with Real America



Real deal tried true

Fall season jackboot

Red white black blue

about

The High and Wides image

The High and Wides Baltimore, Maryland

The High & Wides draw on their backgrounds in bluegrass to take the music to a place of their own with inspiration from the days when old-time, rockabilly, western swing, and proto-rock'n'roll mingled in a murky soup of hillbilly string band music.
