She dresses up her children and she herds them to the car
Drives down to the mega-church and can't find a place to park
Then she feels a little guilty when she takes His name in vein
So she folds her last two dollars and she drops them 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'll trade it for a drink
Those early morning joggers, they're quick to pass him by 
And the ones that 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, hear the church bells ring
Cheerleaders shaking on a big screen TV
There's Winnebago's, boats on the lake 
And a red head, freckled face blows out the candles on his birthday cake
Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

He's hunkered in a bunker with a rifle in his hand
Laying his life on the line for every inch of sand
He's dreaming about that freedom that he's been fighting for 
And the arms that'll wrap around him when he comes walking through that door
Some Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America
Yeah, Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America

Smell the eggs and bacon, hear the church bells ring
Cheerleaders shaking on a big screen TV
There's Winnebago's, 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 I ain't perfect, yah, there's a lot of things wrong in America
I thank God for those who lay down their lives to make this place my home

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