"Make It In America"

Got a one way ticket down a 2 way street
Got the wind in my hair and there’s dust on my feet
I’m just trying to make it in America

Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
Faded 1985 from a Stones’ concert
And I’m dying to make it in America

And I’m singing the words to my favorite song
With the rag top down and my glasses on
And I’m driving straight through America

I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I’m born to run
I got a feeling that I’m not the only one

I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah baby I need the ocean
And you can’t stop me now I’ve got my heart in motion
I want to make it in America
Make it in America

I can see my star sunset and vine
Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign
Yeah I gotta, gotta make it in America

See me wearin’ a smile, even if I’m broke
I’ll be singing the words from a song I wrote
And I called it Make It In America

I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I’m born to run
I got a feeling that I’m not the only one

I, I wanna show some skin
Baby I need the ocean
And you can’t stop me now I’ve got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America

I can feel the sweat dripping down my face
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
Yeah sometimes this world’s such a lonely place
If I just push on I know that

I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I’m born to run
I got a feeling that I’m not the only one

I, I wanna show some skin
Baby I need the ocean
And you can’t stop me now I’ve got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America
Make it in America

And it starts, sometime around midnight.
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself
for a minute or two.
As you stand, under the bar lights.
And the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a while.
And the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack to her smile.
And that white dress she’s wearing
you haven’t seen her for a while.

But you know, that she’s watching.
She’s laughing, she’s turning.
She’s holding her tonic like a cross*.
The room’s suddenly spinning.
She walks up and asks how you are.
So you can smell her perfume.
You can see her lying naked in your arms.

And so there’s a...

You say we're both little people and you like it that way
But in time I'm gonna put this body to shame (and grow old)
Wear a suit like my old man
Pack up all my things and get my ass out of town

We've got it good
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
It's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a town

That holds all your memories
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere is away from me

If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This midwest town is...
