I'm just turnin' up, and now I'm goin' down below I'm in America and I've got nowhere to go Time is burning up, it's burnin' both fast and slow And in America, oh I don't know what I know Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready I can't understand the news in a foreign city The driver's up ahead but he's movin' kinda slow I'm in a land of sun that's buried in the snow Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready I'm goin' out alone, but I've got no place in mind I'm goin' where everyone is hanging out at night The lights burn up the road, but they're burnin' kinda low Guess all I'm looking for is that steady distant glow Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready I can't understand the news in a foreign city I'm goin' out alone, and I'm gonna fade from sight A distant country band plays deep into the night The driver's up ahead, but he's got no place in mind He's in America and he's lookin' for a good time Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready I can't understand the news in a foreign city
