norman always knew

i've been from maine to texas

i've searched from coast to coast

for the country on the cover

of the saturday evening post

on every road i traveled

in all the places i passed through

i saw the faces of america

that norman always knew

there's so much that we owe this man

with a pipe in his mouth and a brush in his hand

his pictures made us understand

what norman always knew

no matter how the world may change

these words sing out like an old refrain

deep inside we're all the same"
