Letra

Last night I heard America, the country of before,
I traced its three chord Atlas from Long Beach to Shenando
Sang Galveston and Phoenix and the Lineman’s Wichita.
Turned the pages of America, the journal of before.
 
Last night I saw the highway strewn with rusted Chevrolets.
Route 66 has lost its kicks, now it seems that it’s lost its way.
Please tell me that you do still know the way to San Jose,
With the fireflies disappearing over Cape Cod Bay.
 
Now you don’t board Paul Simon’s Pittsburgh Greyhound anymore,
Or take the Tom Waits, Springsteen ride down to the Jersey shore,
or walk with sweet Gram Parsons down ‘The Streets of Baltimore’ .
Last night I lost America, the country of before.
 
And the road trips I once took with you, from Yosemite to Maine,
And the romance of the truck stop, the ‘going so fast’ Freight Train.
And the neon stark motel on the Mississippi Plain
America, your boundless and astonishing terrain.
 
Last night I mourned America, and how I thought it used to be.
Before that day Manhattan became a cemetery.
Has your soul been lost in transit, devoid of clarity?
Last night I mourned America, and how it’s come to be.
 
Come back home America, withstand that bird of prey,
Who seethes in mocking opulence, inciting disarray
Come back now to each other, a new Independence Day
Come back home America…..before everything gives way.
Come back home America…..before everything gives way.
