America

[Verse 1]

Chicago on a Friday night

I was walking from a bar with a friend of mine

We heard sirens and saw blue lights

Right in front of us

Seems her man took another mans life

I can search a wrong and never make a right

What's worst by the end of the night?

There'll be somethin' else, somewhere else

As the sun sets over the hills

In Los Angeles and New York

Somebody's tryna find a place to sleep

But daddy's lookin for daughter down in New Orleans tonight

[Chorus]

Hey man, just one more night in America

Hey man, just one more night in America

[Verse 2]

Miami on a Saturday night

Drinks are flowing all around and the pad is wide

Hope is low but the heels are high

Yeah, this town's alive, oh, na-na

She only wanted to feel some love

Didn't get much when she was growin' up

Men tried but they were never enough

She needs somethin' else or somewhere else

And in Vegas, someone's gamblin'

A family dream are two roads down

Her mother lives in poverty, hopin' her soldiers on a call

And say, "Mama, I'm fine."

[Chorus]

Hey man, just one more night in America

Hey man, just one more night in America

[Bridge]

Every time I'm here, everywhere I go

I can see the beauty, I can feel the hope

Oh, and some folks try, some folks cry

Some folks die for the stars and stripes

[Chorus]

Hey man, just one more night in America (Just one more night)

Hey man, just one more night in America (Just one more night)

Hey man (Hey man), it's one more night in America

(Just one more night, oh, na-na)

Hey man (Hey man), it's one more night in America

(Just one more night)

(Hey man, just one more night in America)
