Released: June 15, 2010
Producer: John Mellencamp
Here in this land of opportunity where
Success and failure rest side by side
Big ol' roads run coast to coast
[?] to see if you could catch a ride
But the world don't bother me none
Don't want nothing I can't get myself
There's still things to be done
Till the bell rings out for me on judgement day, yeah, yeah, yeah
Down this great highway we [?] the future
With no one but ourselves in the way
If I stumble, I'm gonna keep on movin'
Lookin' for better days
When the sun goes shinin' baby, I'll bе walkin'
No finger-pointin' at anyone
No bigotry, no guns a-firin'
No problems undеr the sun
But the world don't bother me none
Don't want nothing I can't get myself
There's still things to be done
Till the bell rings out for me on judgement day, yeah, yeah, yeah
And if I never get myself to heaven
At least I know I've tried
To give my life some sorta meaning
Hope my exit's easy when I die
But the world don't bother me none
Don't want nothing I can't get myself
There's still work to be done
Till the bell rings out for me on judgement day, yeah, yeah, yeah
On judgement day
Success and failure rest side by side
Big ol' roads run coast to coast
[?] to see if you could catch a ride
But the world don't bother me none
Don't want nothing I can't get myself
There's still things to be done
Till the bell rings out for me on judgement day, yeah, yeah, yeah
Down this great highway we [?] the future
With no one but ourselves in the way
If I stumble, I'm gonna keep on movin'
Lookin' for better days
When the sun goes shinin' baby, I'll bе walkin'
No finger-pointin' at anyone
No bigotry, no guns a-firin'
No problems undеr the sun
But the world don't bother me none
Don't want nothing I can't get myself
There's still things to be done
Till the bell rings out for me on judgement day, yeah, yeah, yeah
And if I never get myself to heaven
