- Mary Chapin Carpenter
- Im standing at a traffic light somewhere in
West L.A.Waiting for the sign to change then
Ill be on my way
The noise, the heat, the crush of cars just robs me of my nerve
And someone yells and blasts their horn and pins me to the curb
Im a stranger here, no one you would know
My ship has not come in but
I keep hoping though
And I keep looking past, the sun that sets above
Saying to myself, goodnight
AmericaAnd
Im driving into
Houston on a rain slicked
Texas road
Land so flat and sky so dark,
I say a prayer to float
Should all at once the
Sanasito surge beyond its banks
Like Noah reaching higher ground
Id offer up my thanks
Cause Im a stranger here, no one you would know
Im just passing through,
I am therefore
I goThe moon rose in the east but now its right above
As I say aloud, goodnight
AmericaMidnight, its hard to see the stars
Out on a highway near
AtlantaFull of strip malls and used cars
First light just roll your window down
And smell the salty air
Perfume of
Charleston
TownIm looking with a pilgrims eyes upon some promised land
And dreaming with my heart outstretched as if it were my hand
And Ill hit the cross
Bronx just in time to beat the rush hour lock
Ive got no clue what time it is from this worlds busted clock
Im a stranger here, no one you would know
Im from somewhere else, well, isnt everybody though?
I dont know where
Ill be when the sun comes up
Until then sweet dreams, goodnight
America
