Lyrics
AMERICA I USED TO KNOW
Words and Music by Barry David Butler
HOPPED IN MY CAR ONE LAST TIME
ONE LAST TRIP ACROSS THIS COUNTRY
LEAVIN HOME ONE MORE TIME
LOOKIN FOR AMERICA THE ONE THAT I CAN’T FIND
HEADIN WEST ACROSS THIS LAND
THROUGH ROLLING FARMS AND THE ROCKIES
MOTEL ROWS AND COTTON FIELDS
HOWARD JOHNSON’S AND TRUCK STOP MEALS
LOOKIN FOR AMERICA
LOOKIN FOR AMERICA
LOOKIN FOR AMERICA
I USED TO KNOW
DRIVE IN THEATERS AND MALTED MILKS
ICE CREAM SUNDAES AND BANANNA SPLITS
THE NEIGHBORHOOD DINERS AND THE CANDY STORE
EVERYTHING’S CHANGED JUST CAN’T IGNORE
AMERICAN BANDSTAND AND THE 45’S
THOSE BLACK VINYL RECORDS AND TRANSISTOR RADIOS
TENDER BALLADS AND ROCK & ROLL
COME ON BABY LET’S DO THE STROLL
(CHORUS)
THEY WERE SIMPLER TIMES WITH A SLOWER PACE
DIDN’T SEEM AS HECTIC DIDN’T SEEM LIKE A RACE
LOOKIN FOR AMERICA I USED TO KNOW
SOCK HOPS, PROMS AND SADIE HAWKINS DAY
MAKIN OUT AT MOVIES AND EATING BON BONS
DRINKIN WARM BEER AND ALL THOSE DREAMS
ICE CREAM SODA’S TOPPED WITH REAL WHIPPED CREAM
55 CHEVY’S AND CUSTARD STANDS
ELEVATED SUBWAYS AND TROLLEY CARS
LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL AND FLAG FOOTBALL
MARCHING BANDS WE HAD IT ALL
