歌曲歌詞
I standing at a traffic light somewhere in west L
Waiting for the sign to change then
I be on my way
The noise the heat the crush of cars
Just robs me of my nerve
Then someone yells and blasts their horn
And pins me to the curb
I 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 America
And I am driving into Houston on a rain Texas road
Land so flat and sky so dark I say a prayer to float
Should all at once the San Jacinto surge beyond its banks
Like Noah reaching higher ground I offer up my thanks
I a stranger here
No one you would know
I just passing through I am therefore I go
The moon rose in the east but now it right above
As I say aloud goodnight America
Midnight it hard to see the stars
Out on a highway near Atlanta
Full of strip malls used cars
First light just roll your window down and smell
The salty air perfume of Charleston town
I looking with a pilgrim eyes
Upon some promised land
I dreaming with my heart outstretched
As if it were my hand
And I hit the Cross Bronx just in time to
Beat the rush hour lock
But I got no clue what time it is
From this world busted clock
I a stranger here no one you would know
I from somewhere else isn everybody though
I don know where I be when the sun comes up
But till then sweet dreams goodnight America
