A Dwise man was telling storieGs to me
abouAt the placesG hDe had been to and the things that had seen
A quDiet voGice is singing something to me
An Aage old GsongD 'bout the brave in this land here of the free,
One timeG oneA nightD in America
A Dlady dressed in white with the man she loves
StandinGg along the side of their pick up truck
A shotD rang oGut in the night
JusDt when eGverything seemed right
AnoDther heAadline Dwritten down in America
The Dguy that lived next door in three o five
took the kGids to the park and disappeared 'bout half past nine
WhoD willG everD know how muGch she loved them so
DThat darAk nDight alone in America
DFour small boys playing ball in the parking lot
A preacGher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
A carD skiddeGd into the rain
MakiDng theG last little one a saint
DOne more lAightD goes out in America
A Dyoung girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
She hopesG for a heaven while for her there's just this hell
SDhe gave Gaway hDer lGife to become somebody's wife
AnDothAer wiDsh unanswered in America
*Bridge*
APeople having so much faith
Die too Gsoon Dwhile all the rest come late
We Awrite a song that no one sings
On aG coldA black stone where a lasting peace will finally bring

The Dsunlight plays upon my window pane
I wake Gup to a world that's still the same
My Dfather Gsaid to be strong
TDhat a goGod man could never do wrong
In a drDeam I Ahad lastD night in America
D One timeG one nightA in America
D OnGe timeA one night in America
