《Goodnight America》歌词

[00:00:00] Goodnight America - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)

[00:00:32] I'm standing at a traffic light somewhere in west L A

[00:00:39] Waiting for the sign to change then

[00:00:43] I'll be on my way

[00:00:46] The noise the heat the crush of cars

[00:00:49] Just robs me of my nerve

[00:00:53] Then someone yells and blasts their horn

[00:00:56] And pins me to the curb

[00:00:59] I'm a stranger here

[00:01:02] No one you would know

[00:01:05] My ship has not come in

[00:01:08] But I keep hoping though

[00:01:12] And I keep looking past the sun that sets above

[00:01:19] Saying to myself goodnight America

[00:01:39] And I am driving into Houston on a rain-slicked Texas road

[00:01:46] Land so flat and sky so dark I say a prayer to float

[00:01:53] Should all at once the San Jacinto surge beyond its banks

[00:02:00] Like Noah reaching higher ground I'd offer up my thanks

[00:02:06] 'Cause I'm a stranger here

[00:02:09] No one you would know

[00:02:12] I'm just passing through I am therefore I go

[00:02:19] The moon rose in the east but now it's right above

[00:02:26] As I say aloud goodnight America

[00:03:00] Midnight it's hard to see the stars

[00:03:06] Out on a highway near Atlanta

[00:03:09] Full of strip malls & used cars

[00:03:14] First light just roll your window down and smell

[00:03:19] The salty air perfume of Charleston town

[00:04:05] I'm looking with a pilgrim's eyes

[00:04:08] Upon some promised land

[00:04:12] I'm dreaming with my heart outstretched

[00:04:15] As if it were my hand

[00:04:18] And I'll hit the Cross Bronx just in time to

[00:04:22] Beat the rush hour lock

[00:04:25] But I got no clue what time it is

[00:04:28] From this world's busted clock

[00:04:31] I'm a stranger here no one you would know

[00:04:38] I'm from somewhere else isn't everybody though

[00:04:44] I don't know where I'll be when the sun comes up

[00:04:51] But till then sweet dreams goodnight America
