America Lyrics

(This is as groovy as it gets)

Driving home in Felonious Wilma again
I wanna live in America
I wanna live in America
Sitting on the foldout couch around the bends
I wanna live in America
I wanna live in America

But I don't really want to, but I know I have to
Cuz I wanna leave my job again
But I don’t wanna be broke again
Cuz I need to, but do I really have to?
I don't have much more time to spend
& I'm gonna do it with my friends
I need to, I need you

Walking home in forty dollar Nike sneaks’
We're all alone in America
We're all alone in America
Watch the pavement cracking underneath my feet
I wanna live in America
I wanna live in America

But I don't really want to, but I know I have to
Cuz I wanna leave my job again
But I don't wanna be broke again
Cuz I need to, but do I really have to?
I don't have much more time to spend
& I'm gonna do it with my friends
I need to, I need you
We're falling apart in America!
We’re falling apart in America!

But I don’t really want to, but I know I have to
Cuz I wanna leave my job again
But I don't wanna be broke again
Cuz I need to, but do I really have to?
I don’t have much more time to spend
& I'm gonna do it with my friends
I need to, I need you

Walking through America
Walking through America

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
