[Verse 1]
C F
I set out like Kerouac, in my American car,
G C F G
Carrying a dream and a road map, deep in my American heart,
C F
But where's them mountain majesties? Where's those waves of grain?
G C F G4 G
Billboards from sea to shining sea, man, it ain't the same!
[Chorus]
F C/E G4 G
I've been searching for the promised land,
F C/E Dm7 G7
But it's just another neon come - on... roadside stand,
C F
Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all they got here,
G C F
Come all this way to find my heart,
G4 G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 F Dm/F F G
All I get is sou - ve - nirs!

[Verse 2]
C F
They got Mount Rushmore on a cup, everybody needs one of those,
G C F G
For a dollar more they'll fill up, you can drink out of Lincoln's nose,
C F
They got the Hard Rock T - shirts, they got Elvis too,
G C F Gsus4 G
Sooner or later, mark my words, they're gonna get you!
[Chorus]
F C/E G4 G
I've been searching for the promised land,
F C/E Dm7 G7
But it's just another neon come - on... roadside stand,
C F
Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all they got here,
G C F
Come all this way to find my heart,
G4 G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 F Dm/F F G
All I get is sou - ve - nirs!

[Verse 3]
C F
Baby, I believed in you, thought you believed in me,
G C F G
I thought we had a love that's true, not a close fac - simile,
C F
I don't want your dime store ring, it turns my finger green,
G C F G4 G
I don't want your dime store love, I want the real thing!
[Chorus]
F C/E G4 G
I've been searching for the promised land,
F C/E Dm7 G7
But it's just another neon come - on... roadside stand,
C F
Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all they got here,
G C F
Come all this way to find my heart,
G4 G C
All I get is sou - ve - nirs!
[Coda]
