Trying to Find America

Hey have you seen that elusive girl I used to know?

That I've been lost and looking for

She promised me that I could always come back home to her

But she doesn't live here anymore

Oh, she was strong and she was kind

She was yours and she was mine

People came from everywhere

Just to see her standing there

And oh, trying to find America

I don't know where she has gone

And oh, I'm trying to find America

And the way to carry on

Where has she gone?

Hey, if you see her, please tell her that she’s not alone

And that I know they broke her heart

Yeah, she needs to know, it’s time to come back home

So we can make another start

Oh, she told the truth and she was free

She was the best of you and me

If I can only find her now

Maybe she’ll be free again somehow

And oh, trying to find America

But I don't know where she has gone

And oh, I'm trying to find America

And the way to carry on

Where has she gone?

Oh, where has she gone?
