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
