[Verse 1]
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
Used to only worry about 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]
Took a flight to New York City
I miss that Hudson River line
Took the train back to Lake Placid
That's another space and time
Where we used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
So many things that I think twice about before I do, yeah
[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
[Outro]
It's just a dream I had in mind
