Should the canyons burn

All night long like the 4th of July

We won't need an alibi

There's gas in the car

Hours 'til sunrise

And there's no guarantee

That leaving town's gonna set us both free

But stayin' here, it's just not what we need

Yeah, stayin' here, it's just not what we need



Because America shines, yes it does

In between the white lines where I found love

All alone on a road going nowhere

Going nowhere

Going nowhere

At full speed



And I have travelled far

And I've seen things that I'd rather not say

When you're travellin' it's better that way

The darker the secret, the harder you'll keep it

But it's no victory

Always running away like I do

Always know that I'll come back to you

Always know that I'll come back to you



Because America shines, yes it does

In between the white lines where I found love

All alone on a road going nowhere

Going nowhere

Going nowhere

At full speed

At full speed



Because America shines, yes it does

In between the white lines where I found love

All alone on a road going nowhere

Going nowhere

Going nowhere

At full speed

Alone on a road going nowhere

Going nowhere

Going nowhere

At full speed



And should the canyons burn

I'm catching right off the coast
