And I hope you find it
All that you need
I hope that you stay young, wild and free
You'll have America

And I hope that you're better than all of your friends
I hope that they hold you until the end
You can have America

But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a hope for me
All of our time chasing a dream
A dream that meant nothing to me

I 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 out
In the heart of America

But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a home for me
All of our time chasing a dream
A dream that meant nothing to me

And all of the parties they fade
And yes my looks will go away
I'll just be left here in America
But she never had a home for me
