Should the canyons burn All night long like the 4th of July We won't need an alibi There's gas in the car Hours til sunrise And there's no guarantee That leaving town's gonna set us both free But staying here it's just not what we need Staying here it's just not what we need (Chorus) Because America shines yes it does In between the white lines where I found love All alone on a road going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere At full speed I have traveled far And I've seen things that I'd rather not say But when you're traveling it's better that way The darker the secret the harder you keep it But it's no victory Always running away like I do I always know that I'll come back to you I always know that I'll come back to you (Chorus) Because America shines yes it does In between the white lines where I found love All alone on a road going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere At full speed At full speed Because America shines yes it does In between the white lines where I found love All alone on a road going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere At full speed Alone on a road going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere At full speed And should the canyons burn I'm catching a ride off the coast
