Looking For America

Took a trip to San Francisco

It was quite the scenic drive
Em                 D                      C
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
        D   Em         D              C    D
We used to only worry for them after dark

           Em             D    C                D
I'm still looking for my own version of America
Em               D              C               D  D#º
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
Em               D            C                     Cm
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide

Missed that Hudson River line

That's another place and time, where
Em                 D                        C
I used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
     D    Em                  D                  C   D
So many things that I think twice about before I do, no no
