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 now

    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 Writer/s: Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, Jack Michael Antonoff
