My Country Randy Newman

[Intro]
Let's go back to yesterday
When a phone call cost a dime
In New Orleans, just a nickel
Turn back the hands of time
Turn back the hands of time

[Verse 1]
Picture a room, a window
Sofa and some chairs
Television turned on for the night
Picture a woman, two children seated
A man lying there
Their faces softly glowing in the light

[Chorus]
This is my country
These are my people
This is the world I understand
This is my country
These are my people
And I know 'em like the back of my own hand

[Bridge]
If we had something to say
We bounced it off the screen
We were watching and we couldn't look away
We all know what we looked like
You know what I mean
Wouldn't have had it any other way
