americana

White washed fences round front porch lights Tossing rocks at the railroad ties Red meat grilling, lemonade, July ninth Passing time under blue summer skies I hide you seek in the abandoned lot Making everything we couldn't have bought Falling asleep to Bible stories told Growing up before you ever grow old Oh a Rockwell picnic painting But the front porch swing is breaking Americana Don't you wanna get out of here Americana Don't you wanna just disappear We can keep on running no red lights Till we see the future is all blue skies Americana Don't you wanna Neon cities and palm tree signs So many wonders beneath flashing lights Swimming through strangers you'll never see again But they see you, and they know you, and you know them With the glitz and the glam and the fashion We're not in Hollywood but everybody's acting Like a bored housewife or starlet gold Do the kids really want to take control? Americana don't you wanna get out of here Americana don't you wanna just disappear We can keep on running no red lights Till we see the future is all blue skies Americana don't you wanna Little Amber got lost in fields of grain Little Amber wouldn't be lost if she stayed in the plains
