The Great Highway

I had this dream America

Was always a very special place

Heroes of the great Wild West

Wild Bill Hickock and the rest

The romantic on a wreckless chase

'Til reality hit me in the face

Hey, hey, hey

I'm ridin' on The Great Highway

All across America

From New York to LA

Hopin' I can find my dream

In New Hampshire or New Orleans

Find a place where I can stay

A'once out there I'm never goin' away so

Hey, hey, hey

From [inaudible] to San Francisco Bay

All across America

Along The Great Highway

Bright eyes like wishing wells

Instamatic kiss and tell

Optimistic self-belief

College girls with perfect teeth

Technicolor realism in 20/20 vision

Animated multi-race

And always out there in your face

Hoorah should we are cool if you fell out

And life is not a [inaudible]

So wake up to reality and

Hey, hey, hey

I'm drivin' on the interstate

All across America

Along The Great Highway

And even if the dream goes wrong

We'll stay for the last song

So, hey, hey, hey

From [inaudible] to San Francisco Bay

All across America

We're on The Great Highway

The great illusion it may be

But always somethin' else to see

Always some little hick town

To pick you up when you are down

Another day, another shake

Malted with a slice of cake

La di da di da di da (la di da di da di da)

At a jukebox in a smoky bar

A girl stands looking at the stars

Dressed in denim, wearing shades

And how sad is The Great Highway

(I had this dream, America)

She sips her Coke, walks away

It's just a second in her day

But all her culture's on display

She might be a dreamer

But maybe I'm a dreamer too

Hey, hey, hey

I'm ridin' on The Great Highway

All across America

From New York to LA

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey
