I standing at a traffic light somewhere in west L

Waiting for the sign to change then

I be on my way

The noise the heat the crush of cars

Just robs me of my nerve

Then someone yells and blasts their horn

And pins me to the curb

I a stranger here

No one you would know

My ship has not come in

But I keep hoping though

And I keep looking past the sun that sets above

Saying to myself goodnight America

And I am driving into Houston on a rain Texas road

Land so flat and sky so dark I say a prayer to float

Should all at once the San Jacinto surge beyond its banks

Like Noah reaching higher ground I offer up my thanks

I a stranger here

No one you would know

I just passing through I am therefore I go

The moon rose in the east but now it right above

As I say aloud goodnight America

Midnight it hard to see the stars

Out on a highway near Atlanta

Full of strip malls used cars

First light just roll your window down and smell

The salty air perfume of Charleston town

I looking with a pilgrim eyes

Upon some promised land

I dreaming with my heart outstretched

As if it were my hand

And I hit the Cross Bronx just in time to

Beat the rush hour lock

But I got no clue what time it is

From this world busted clock

I a stranger here no one you would know

I from somewhere else isn everybody though

I don know where I be when the sun comes up

But till then sweet dreams goodnight America
