Steve Thomson: Driving in America [lyrics]

Steve Thomson

Driving in America

As I drive through this small town

Could be anywhere in U.S.A

All the small shops are closing

To the fast food chains

In a land of plenty

So many hearts, so empty

Tonight I feel like a foreign traveller

On a journey to the heart of my home

Good old main street disappears

A way of life has shifted gears

We gotta leave this town behind us

Could not turn back if we tried

Mountain shines and rivers roll on by

Rain like tears fall from the sky

This land is crying

This land is crying

I hear it crying across these plains

CHORUS

Driving through the pouring rain

In the middle of America

Driving through the pouring rain

In the middle of America

Driving through the pouring rain

In the middle of America

And now this darkness just gets deeper

I feel a heavy hand at the wheel of my soul

As I wonder where all this leads

A highway billboard Jesus bleeds

This land is crying

This land is crying

I hear it crying across these plains

CHORUS

This land is crying

This land is crying

I hear it crying across these plains

CHORUS
