Pink Houses
Words and Music by: John Mellencamp
Sequenced by: Ron Tilden

There's a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
You know he thinks he's got it so good
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' 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 for you and me
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah,
Little pink houses for you and me
Oh yeah for you and me

There's a young man in a tshirt
Who list to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
He says, "Lord this must be my destination."
'Cause they told me when I was younger
"Hey, boy you're gonna be president."
But just like everything else
Those old crazy dreams just kinda came and went

Oh but ain't that America for you and me
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah,
Little pink houses for you
oh baby and me

Oh oooh oooh oo yeah
Oh oooh oooh oo yeah

Well there's people and more people
What do they know know know
Go to work in some highrise
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
Ooh yeah

And there's winners and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills,
The bills, the pills that kill

Oh but ain't that America for you and me
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah,
Little pink houses for you and me
Ooh yeah

Ain't that America for you and me
Ain't that America, hey there's somethin' to see baby
Ain't that America, oh that home of the free, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Little pink houses for you and me
