lyrics

I was settled down in a one-horse town when you wrote me
can't believe you actually tracked me here i was hiding
i didn't think I could be redeemed
i stopped chasing all my dreams - i was running

I miss america, miss america
do you wish that we knew your name
hey america, miss america
don't you want to go where you belong

everyone wants a golden age - black tuxedos and pink champagne
somebody tell them the bottom dropped out again
nobody wants to work here - everybody wants to hang around

nobody wants to be you anymore
no huddled wretched masses on your shore
somebody took your crown and gave you war
I got a call into you - pick up your phone
