I set out like Kerouac in my
|
American car
|
Carryin' a dream and a
|
road map
|
Deep in my American heart
|
But where's those mountain
|
majesties
|
Where's those waves of grain
|
Billboards from sea to shining sea
|
man it ain't the same
|
|
They got Mount Rushmore on a cup
|
Everybody needs one of those
|
For a dollar more more they'll fill it up
|
You can drink out of Lincoln's nose
|
They got the Hard Rock t-shirts,
|
they got Elvis,too
|
And sooner or later, mark my words
|
You know they're gonna get you
|
____
|
I've been searchin' for the promised land
|
But it's just another neon, come on
|
roadside stand
|
Little tin toys that fall apart
|
That's all they got here
|
I come all this way to find my heart
|
All I get is souvenirs
|
|
Baby I believed in you,I
|
thought you believed in me
|
I thought we had a love that's
|
true, not a close facsimile
|
Now I don't want your dimestore
|
ring,turns my finger green
|
I don't want your dimestore love
|
I want the real thing
