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
