America

The newspaper said that you came from a
Criminal world
But they hadn't the proof you see
Her career had been slowing down in this old place
She was hoping for something you see
She hoped that soon they'll be playing her tunes
And soon they'll be lifting the gloom
But they always said to her, you see

You'll never make it in America that way
Never make it in America is what they say
Never make it in America that way

A punishing schedule couldn't break her heart
She played from the soul right from the start
And her friends were hoping she'd be ok
They're wishing for something you see
They hoped that soon they'll be playing her tunes
And soon they'll be lifting the gloom
But they always said to her you'll see

You'll never make it in America that way
Never make it in America that's what they say
Never make it in America that way

We hoped that soon they'll playing her tunes
And soon they'll be lifting the gloom
But they had always said to her you'll see

You'll never make it in America that's what they will say
Never make it in America that way
Never make it in America that way
