Songs: Dancing in America (2001)

This song is about a lot of things, but I wrote it on September 11, 2001. I used to always play this song at open mics.


These days seem to shine (and we're drinking)
All signs point to yes (when we're gambling)
Take the long road again
Past the graveyard
On film in the street

Dancing in America
Apple pie and pick up truck
Daisy chain the last to go
Once again we'll miss the show

I don't want anyone to see me
I don't think you would recognize
Here we are we've come this far it's too late
To waste our time sleeping in the day
Cause I'll fly away
Before you wake up
The first thing is high
A perfect ending but so dry

We gather around
We will find a way
Pain is in the drink
You can't dump it in the sink

Dancing in America
Apple pie and pick up truck
Daisy chain the last to go
Once again we'll miss the show
