Outside in America Everybody's just waking up Drinking coffee from a paper cup To the sound of the radio And there's a broke down girl In a parking lot Shaking off her dress With everything she's got Last night she started dancing Aand she couldn't stop Daylight came and broke her heart She's been up all night With dreams so big In a town where dreams don't fit Come on now people It's all we've got I feel it in my head for sure Like a song that's being played For all our lives We know it's right We heard it on the radio Outside in America There's a boy and there's a girl he loves But he really never gave enough And so she couldn't take no more She said she couldn't stay She had to walk away Cuz he's never gonna get it Never gonna get it And she's never gonna live that way He says "oh my god" "I feel like hell" Come on now people It's all we've got I feel it in my head for sure Like a song that's being played For all our lives We know it's right We heard it on the radio And it's all these moments that Start all the fires that Make all these moments burn bright So how can't all this be right Come on now people It's all we've got I feel it in my head for sure Like a song that's being played For all our lives We know it's right We heard it on the radio
