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
Yeah
Staying here
It's just not what we need

Because America shines
Yes it does
In between the white lines where I found love
All alone on a road going nowhere
(Nowhere)
Going nowhere
(Nowhere)
Going nowhere
(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

Because America shines
Yes it does
In between the white lines where I found love
All alone on a road going nowhere
(Nowhere)
Going nowhere
(Nowhere)
Going nowhere
(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
(Nowhere)
Going nowhere
(Nowhere)
Going nowhere
(Nowhere)
At full speed

All alone on a road going nowhere
(Nowhere)
Going nowhere
(Nowhere)
Going nowhere
(Nowhere)
At full speed

And should the canyons burn I'm catching a ride off the coast
