Goodnight America |
I’m standing at a traffic light somewhere in West LA |
Waiting for the sign to change then I’ll be on my way |
The noise, the heat, the crush of cars just robs me of my nerve |
And someone yells and blasts their horn and pins me to the curb |
I’m a stranger here |
No one you would know |
My ship has not come in But I keep hoping though |
And I keep looking past |
The sun that sets above |
Saying to myself |
Goodnight America |
And I’m driving into Houston on a rain slicked Texas road |
Land so flat and sky so dark I say a prayer to float |
Should all at once the Sanasito surge beyond it’s banks |
Like Noah reaching higher ground I’d offer up my thanks |
Cause I’m a stranger here |
No one you would know |
I’m just passing through |
I am therefore I go The moon rose in the east |
But now it’s right above |
As I say aloud |
Goodnight America |
Midnight, |
It’s hard to see the stars out on a highway near Atlanta |
Full of strip malls and used cars |
First light, |
Just roll your window down |
And smell the salty air perfume of Charleston town |
I’m looking with a pilgrim’s eyes upon some promised land |
And dreaming with my heart outstretched as if it were my hand |
And I’ll hit the cross Bronx just in time to beat the rush hour lock |
I’ve got no clue what time it is from this world’s busted clock |
I’m a stranger here |
No one you would know |
I’m from somewhere else |
Well isn’t everybody though |
I don’t know where I’ll be When the sun comes up Until then, sweet dreams |
Goodnight America |
