I am love and I am hate
I'm your late night drunk debate
But you'll never put
Your finger on me

Have you ever seen the sun
Over the Rocky Mountains shining?
Or touched the sands
Of a Southern Florida beach?

Have you seen a grown man cry
Or a child that's slowly dying?
Have you looked inside
To see all that you can see?

And I am North and South Dakota
And New York City
I am everything
That Hollywood wants to be

I am love and I am hate
And the critics can all debate
But they will never put a finger on me
No, you'll never put your finger on

Have you seen the Northern Falls?
Or the Midwest seasons changing?
A Montana storm
Or a warm Kentucky rain?

Have you heard the love that sings
Over the inner city sidewalks?
Have you risen above
All that leads to hate?

And I am Boston and D.C.
And all of Detroit City
I am everything
That Hollywood wants to be

I am southern rock n roll
Country and hip-hop and soul
But you'll never put your finger on me

I'm a father and and I'm a friend
I'm your brother until the end
But you'll never put your finger on me

I am only God knows why
I'll be a cowboy till I die
But you'll never put your finger on me

You'll never put your finger on me
You'll never put your finger on me
You'll never put, never, never, never
Put your finger on me
