In America
Graduating
Boys and girls just turned 18
Don’t know where they’re headed
Living life in the land of the free
There’s so many faces
Cross the 50 States of USA
You’ve got so many places baby
Yeah and life’s what you make it so don’t think

Just tell ‘em you’re going
Living life on the wild side
Get out on the road
Take a backseat down that highway
And send me a postcard
Tell me ‘bout everything you’ve done
From cities to small towns
See it all while you’re still young
Just out on the run in America

Call your friends up
Take ‘em with you when you go
Another mile, another truck stop
Down some unfamiliar road
Got a suitcase of memories
Save ‘em up for when you’re old
And laugh about all the good times
And the days when you left home
You gotta tell ‘em you’re going
Living life on the wild side
Get out on the road
Take a backseat down that highway
And send me a postcard
Tell me ‘bout everything you’ve done
From cities to small towns
See it all while you’re still young
Just out on the run in America

Hey, Hey, Hey-aye
Hey, Hey, Hey-aye
Yeah we don’t look back on the days when we’re waiting round, We’re gonna look back at the times when we headed on out

Tell ‘em you’re going
Living life on the wild side
Get out on the road
Take a backseat down that highway
And send me a postcard
Tell me ‘bout everything you’ve done
From cities to small towns
See it all while you’re still young
Just out on the run
Yeah we’re out on the run
Out on the run in America
