And I hope that you find it, all that you need
I hope that you stay young and wild and free
You′ll have AmericaAnd I hope that you're better than all of your friends
I hope that they hold you until the end
You can have America, hmm
But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a home for me
All of our time chasing a dream, hmm, hmm, hmm
A dream that meant nothing to me
And see where I found you where they all lay
All of the greats, they are here to stay
Here in America
And I hope that you find it, all that you are
I hope that it sets you apart
In the heart of America, hmm, hmm
But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a home for me, hmm, hmm, hmm
All of our time chasing a dream, hmm, hmm, hmm
A dream that meant nothing to me
And all the parties, they fade
And yes, my looks, they′ll go away
I'll just be left here in America
But she never had a home for me
