OUTSIDE IN AMERICA
EVERYBODY’S JUST WAKING UP
DRINKING COFFEE FROM PAPER CUP
TO THE SOUND OF THE RADIO
AND THERE’S BROKE DOWN GIRL
IN PARKING LOT
SHAKING OFF HER DRESS
WITH EVERYTHING SHE’S GOT
LAST NIGHT SHE STARTED DANCING 
AND SHE COULDN’T STOP
DAYLIGHT CAME AND BROKE HER HEART

SHE’S BEEN UP ALL NIGHT
WITH DREAMS SO BIG
IN TOWN WHERE DREAMS DON’T FIT
 [bad word] ON NOW PEOPLE
IT’S ALL WE’VE GOT
I FEEL IT IN MY HEAD FOR SURE
LIKE SONG THAT’S BEEN PLAYING
FOR ALL OUR LIVES
WE KNOW IT’S RIGHT
WE HEARD IT ON THE RADIO

OUTSIDE IN AMERICA
THERE’S GIRL AND THERE’S BOY HE LOVES
BUT HE NEVER REALLY GAVE ENOUGH
AND SHE COULDN’T TAKE NO MORE
SHE SAID SHE COULDN’T STAY
SHE HAD TO WALK AWAY
CUZ HE’S NEVER GONNA GET IT
NEVER GONNA GET IT
AND SHE’S NEVER GONNA LIVE THAT WAY

HE SAYS OH MY GOD
I FEEL LIKE [bad word] 
 [bad word] ON NOW PEOPLE
IT’S ALL WE’VE GOT
I FEEL IT IN MY HEAD FOR SURE
LIKE SONG THAT’S BEEN PLAYING
FOR ALL OUR LIVES
WE KNOW IT’S RIGHT
WE HEARD IT ON THE RADIO

AND IT’S ALL THESE MOMENTS THAT
START ALL THE FIRES THAT
MAKE ALL THESE MOMENTS BURN BRIGHT
SO HOW CAN’T ALL THIS BE RIGHT
 [bad word] ON NOW PEOPLE
IT’S ALL WE’VE GOT
I FEEL IT IN MY HEAD FOR SURE
LIKE SONG THAT’S BEEN PLAYING
FOR ALL OUR LIVES
WE KNOW IT’S RIGHT
WE HEARD IT ON THE RADIO  Hay hay hay                                    I found out
on a late night drive
in my winter coat
with my blood-shot eyes
my faith ain't been
no friend to me
and the way I sin
is hanging off of me

and I'm sorry
you can't take me anywhere
pretty soon we're almost there
baby, one more night
it's been a long, long drive
and I'm way, way tired
I don't need no
back-up plan

 [bad word] 
I don't want nobody
nobody don't want me
I'm so sad so lonely
but I'm always landing on my feet

one more time
with a sad, sad smile
and your white bread friends
in the circus life
all the one-way rides
the sweet beginners
passing on the left-hand side
with a sideways smile

and I'm always
one step from stalling
bad trips can make great stories
dance all night
with your [bad word] on fire
and your hands up high
and feel me one more time

 [bad word] 

I learn to love myself
and I don't need no one else
and when a love moves on
cuz it gets cold
then another moves in
and it can fill the hole

I'm one more
hopeful lying on the bedroom floor
no sense trying
when the whole thing drops
you lose your nerve
I hope you get what you deserve

 [bad word]
