Goodnight America(Mary Chapin Carpenter演唱的歌曲)

歌曲歌詞

I'm standing at a traffic light somewhere in west L A

Waiting for the sign to change then I'll 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'm 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-slicked 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'd offer up my thanks

'Cause I'm a stranger here no one you would know

I'm just passing through I am therefore I go

The moon rose in the east but now it's right above

As I say aloud goodnight America

Midnight it's 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

Well I'm looking with a pilgrim's eyes upon some promised land

I'm dreaming with my heart outstretched as if it were my hand
