"Mark Wills has been a tireless supporter of America's
brave, honorable troops, performing for them including USO tours in Iraq and
Afghanistan. So, it is really great that this true patriot now
has a patriotic song, 'Looking for America', in his list of
memorable, heartfelt performances . . . that I believe could be come
a signature one for him. And the well-written 'Looking
for America' is a wonderful reminder that America will always be
. . . the land of the free and the home of the brave . . . remaining
true to its birth right as the Founding Fathers intended . . . even
when it might be hard to see or believe at times... for whatever
reason!"

Looking For America (Lyrics)
by Jeremy Bussey, Bernie Nelson, Philip Douglas
I'm chasing down a memory
Of the way that things used to be
Kids playing underneath an old street light
Knowing they were safe when they laid down at night
I'm looking for something I ain't seen in a while
I'm looking for a factory
Where a man can feed his family
Not worried about them moving it south
Closing the doors and shutting 'er down tomorrow
I'm looking for America
Chorus:
The land of the free and the home of the brave
Seems like I just woke up one day and it was gone, long gone
But I know in my heart it's still out there
Can somebody please tell me where
I'm looking for, America
I'm searching for an old church steeple
Where inside you'll find people
Who live their lives unashamed
And they ain't afraid to say God's name out loud
Yeah I'm looking for America
Repeat Chorus:
I'm out here looking for the truth
A few folks to wave the red, white and blue
Who still believe freedom isn't free
And I guess it's up to you and me to find it
Yeah we gotta find it
Cause we're looking for
