America

We've been on the road it's been so long now We're so far out that it's too late to turn around We open the window and the towns fly by so fast The last gas station we stopped at is somewhere in the past We're in America We started in the east when the sun did show its face We've been on miles and sometimes in a haze We're driving into the golden sun to our west We won't get to where we need to till thursday, Friday best We're in America Look out the window and all we see are fields of corn The tears from the wind is in our eyes and we're happy we were born In America I look over to you where we stop to sleep in Illinois The cold wind froze our windows shut in Detroit There's no other place I'd rather be alone in I'll take this place to be all I've ever known America
