Lyrics
C F
I bought myself a Mustang built in 1967,
G C
We were rolling down a rusty road on a day just made in heaven,
F C
And before the past could find me I had left the day behind me,
F G C F G C
Somewhere in America, I was somewhere in America.
2.
With the Beach Boys on the radio, I headed for the city,
But the city wasn't in me and the city wasn't pretty,
When I felt they were crowding me, the mighty Mustang set me free,
Somewhere in America, I was somewhere in America.
3.
So I headed for the mountains and the pine trees and the forests,
Slept under the stars at night waiting for the morning light,
As I breathed the air God gave to me, I was as free as free could be,
Somewhere in America, I was somewhere in America.
I met a lady called Winona somewhere south of Arizona,
I was captured by her sweet smile so I stayed with her a short while,
As she kissed me and she cared for me, I felt as sweet as sweet could be,
Somewhere in America, I was somewhere in America.
5.
When you're on the road to nowhere you can dream of destinations,
In this mighty restless nation full of many strong temptations,
And the road as far as I can see goes on and on eternally,
Somewhere in America, I was somewhere in America.
Refrain.
