Can't Understand the News

I'm just turning up
Now I'm going down below
I'm in America
And I've got nowhere to go
Time is burning up
It's burning both fast and slow
I'm in America
Oh, I don't know what I know

Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready
I can't understand the news in a forlorn city

The drive is up ahead
But it's moving kinda slow
I'm in a land of sun
That's buried in the snow

Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready

I'm going out alone
But I've got no place in mind
I'm going where everyone
Is hanging out at night
The lights burn up the road
But they're burning kinda low
It's all I'm looking for
Is that steady distant glow

Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready
I can't understand the news in a forlorn city
Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready

I'm going out alone
And I'm gonna fade from sight
A distant country band
Plays deep into the night
The driver's up ahead
But he's got no place in mind
He's in America
And he's looking for a good time

Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready
I can't understand the news in a forlorn city
