“Somewhere in America” is a song written by Jon Nite, Hunter Phelps, Michael Hardy, and Zach Crowell, and it was produced by Mickey Jack Cones and Derek George. The song pays tribute to the kind-hearted people who reside in rural areas of the United States, away from the coasts.
The music video for “Somewhere in America” was produced by Andrew Rozario and Mike Stryker, with Stryker also serving as the director. The video features Trace Adkins visiting Mayfield, Kentucky, which was devastated by an EF4 tornado. The tornado caused significant damage and resulted in the unfortunate loss of more than 50 lives.
In the video, alongside concert footage, it begins with Adkins visiting a makeshift memorial located in downtown Mayfield, where the courthouse used to stand. This visit serves as a poignant reminder of the impact and destruction caused by the tornado in the area.
Somewhere in America
Straight line wind turned the old barn into a pile of wood and rust
The whole town comes with their work boots on, raise it right back up There’s a life ain’t fair, thumb in the air, just tryin’ to get to Baton Rouge Somebody pulls up in a flatbed truck, says, “Buddy, where you headed to?” There ain’t no good news on the 6 o’clock news these days But don’t you get down, take a look around It’s all over the place
It could be Carolina, could be California There’s a dirt road class with a shirt on their back If you ask, they’ll put it right on ya They say the world is endin’ But from where I’m standin’, there’s still a jug to share Couple bucks to spare, still got a prayer Somewhere in America Somewhere in America
There’s rumors of war, wolves at the door There ain’t no way around it There’s all shades of blue collars back in the holler Set to do somethin’ about it There’s still cigarettes in bars There’s still rings that don’t leave hands There’s still Semper Fi on arms And there’s still heart left in this land
Anywhere from Carolina, could be California There’s a dirt road class with a shirt on their back If you ask, they’ll put it right on ya They say the world is endin’ But from where I’m standin’, there’s still a jug to share Couple bucks to spare, still got a prayer Somewhere in America Somewhere in America
Somewhere there’s a boy Somewhere there’s a girl Sittin’ in a Chevy on some Tom Petty Sayin’, “Man, what a perfect world” Yeah, somewhere there’s a town Full of main street moms and pops On top of the world Even if the rest of the world is on the rocks
It could be Carolina, could be California There’s a dirt road class with a shirt on their back If you ask, they’ll put it right on ya They say the world is endin’ But from where I’m standin’, there’s still a jug to share Couple bucks to spare, still got a prayer Somewhere in America Somewhere in America.
