americana Lyrics

White washed fences round front porch lights

Tossing rocks at the railroad ties

Red meat grilling, lemonade, July ninth

Passing time under blue summer skies

I hide you seek in the abandoned lot

Making everything we couldn't have bought

Falling asleep to Bible stories told

Growing up before you ever grow old

Oh a Rockwell picnic painting

But the front porch swing is breaking

Americana

Don't you wanna get out of here

Americana

Don't you wanna just disappear

We can keep on running no red lights

Till we see the future is all blue skies

Americana

Don't you wanna

Neon cities and palm tree signs

So many wonders beneath flashing lights

Swimming through strangers you'll never see again

But they see you, and they know you, and you know them

With the glitz and the glam and the fashion

We're not in Hollywood but everybody's acting

Like a bored housewife or starlet gold

Do the kids really want to take control?

Americana don't you wanna get out of here

Americana don't you wanna just disappear

We can keep on running no red lights

Till we see the future is all blue skies

Americana don't you wanna

Little Amber got lost in fields of grain

Little Amber wouldn't be lost if she stayed in the plains
