American't

Your dirt roads and your amber waves Supper clubs and lazy days Barbecues and crystal meth There's good cookin', there's good cookin' tonight I never knew you the way you wanted me to Loneliness in rural America I never knew you the way you wanted me to The stifling silence of rural America Pave the fields with shopping malls Tract housing and traffic laws High school dreamin' waiting to be eighteen High school dreamin' waiting to be anything I never knew you the way you wanted me to Conformity of middle America I never knew you the way you wanted me to Bored to death in middle America Teenage dreams and starry eyes We'll make it where the skyscrapers rise Live out your big city fantasies But there's no place here for folks like you and me I never knew you the way i wanted to Priced out of urban America I never knew you the way i wanted to Broken dreams of urban America We never knew you the way we wanted to Sold out by modern America We never knew you the way we wanted to The broken promise of modern America
