Lirieke: Martyn Joseph. Other. Somewhere In America.

Somewhere in America

Yearning deep for you

There's country on the radio

The key change comes on cue

The DJ's voice is honey

But I don't think it's true

I'm somewhere in America

Nowhere to be blue


Tonight's a different motel

That looks the very same

It's not what I imagined

On our diamond stairs to fame

There's twenty four hour marketing

But a broken telephone

I'm somewhere in America

Adrift, astray, alone


I'm somewhere in America

Yearning deep for you

There's country on the radio

The key change comes on cue


The towels are indescribable

I wonder should I sue?

I'm somewhere in America

Nowhere to be blue


Buddy Holly, Elvis-

God fearing, down home boys

Went to church on Sundays

But sang of different joys

Amorous three chord poems

Cleaned up for public view

They were somewhere in America

Which is nowhere to be blue


Somewhere in America

Yearning deep for you

I need to touch your heart

As the key change comes on cue

That DJ's voice is honey

But I don't think it's true

I'm somewhere in America

Nowhere to be blue


I'm somewhere in America

Yearning deep for you

With country on the radio

The key change comes on cue

The DJ's voice is honey

But I don't think it's true


I'm somewhere in America

Nowhere to be blue

Somewhere in America

Burning deep for you

Somewhere in America

Holding on to you
