John Mellencamp's, "You Got to Stand For Something"
The Lyrics:
I've been to Harlem County
And I've seen Paris, Texas
And I've spent some time in Rome
I've met a lot of funny people in a lot of funny places
But the MidWest is my home
And I've seen Paris, Texas
And I've spent some time in Rome
I've met a lot of funny people in a lot of funny places
But the MidWest is my home
Why:
Harlem County; Paris, Texas; Rome, the American MidWest ( John "Hoosier" Mellencamp is from Indiana).
