And I hope that you find it, all that you need

I hope that you stay young and 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, 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
