Took a trip to San Francisco. All our friends said we would jive
Didn't work, so I left for Fresno. It was quite a scenic drive
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
We used to only worry for them after dark
Took a trip to San Francisco. All our friends said we would jive
Didn't work, so I left for Fresno. It was quite a scenic drive
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
We used to only worry for them after dark
[Chorus]
I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
[Verse 2]
I flew back to New York City
Missed that Hudson River line
Took a train up to Lake Placid
That's another place and time, where
I used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
So many things that I think twice about before I do, no
[Chorus]
I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
