Sonny took a train
Mary took a boat
Somewhere it`s gonna be better
Everybody needs a little hope
Ten thousand souls
Waiting on a bus and it never rolled
So it goes...
No one`s leaving California
Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
I am The American
I got a walking stick
And an old sock hat
I`ve got dirty hands
And I`ve got a dream to match
I`ve got a pocket full
Of government issue cures for poverty
No one`s leaving California
Pacific transit overload
All my friends live on the corner
And my guitar strums
I am The American
Under the streetlight, down by the water
Don`t worry baby, it`s nothing you ever knew
(If it) Makes you feel better, throw down a quarter
Don`t worry baby, it won`t stick to your shoes
No one`s leaving California
Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
Yeah my guitar strums
I am The American
