Looking for America

Took a trip to San Francisco All our friends said we would jive Didn't work, so I left for Fresno It was quite a scenic drive Pulled over to watch the children in the park We used to only worry for them after dark I'm still looking for my own version of America One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide It's just a dream I had in mind It's just a dream I had in mind It's just a dream I had in mind I flew back to New York City Missed that Hudson River line Took a train up to Lake Placid That's another place and time, where I used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues So many things that I think twice about before I do, no I'm still looking for my own version of America One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide It's just a dream I had in mind It's just a dream I had in mind It's just a dream I had in mind It's just a dream I had in mind
