From the album 'Wazonek III'

Written & Recorded by Adam Wazonek

lyrics

A new land outside the window
Passing by as the plane touched town
So long, good riddance Alabama
She packed up and came to town
A couple winters before the fires started burning
And history began to reverse
So tell me, tell me Miss America
Did you foresee that turn for the worst?

A couple loves, a couple flights across the ocean
How the last few years unfurled
Freshly minted from the halls of academia
And out into the big cruel world
Wouldn’t have pictured you falling in love
With some restless hometown boy
A far cry from the well-to-do contemporaries
Whose company you enjoyed

Now honestly babe, you’re well within your right to be leaving
Seems like the good in the world has just left with the change of the season
So ‘till the second coming of common sense, you’ve never had a better reason
My sweet southern angel, jump into my arms
I can keep you from harm
Won’t you come on Miss America, come on

Down south, things are getting crazy
Gotta look out for number one
By fate found a man who’s laid back and easy
Don’t like war and doesn’t own a gun
If you’d really rather join them descending into madness
Go ahead, but my wish is implied
If they should go and put a wall between us
I’d rather have you on my side

Now honestly babe, we’ve got problems of our own to brave here
At least for now it’s a haven from heinous presidential behaviour
So ‘till the second coming of common sense, it’s probably best that you stay here
My sweet southern angel, jump into my arms
I can keep you from harm
Won’t you come on Miss America, come on

Day after day, changing definitions of freedom
You can play by the rules, but it won’t do you no good to heed them
Watching falsified news of impending momentous occasions
Turn off the TV, you can stay here with me
Tell the folks back at home you’re extending your vacation

Now honestly babe, you’re well within your right to be leaving
Seems like the good in the world has just left with the change of the season
So ‘till the second coming of common sense, you’ve never had a better reason
My sweet southern angel, jump into my arms
I can keep you from harm
Won’t you come on Miss America, come on
