Goodnight America - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)[00:00:00]

I'm standing at a traffic light somewhere in west L A [00:00:32]

Waiting for the sign to change then[00:00:39]

I'll be on my way[00:00:43]

The noise the heat the crush of cars[00:00:46]

Just robs me of my nerve[00:00:49]

Then someone yells and blasts their horn[00:00:53]

And pins me to the curb[00:00:56]

I'm a stranger here [00:00:59]

No one you would know[00:01:02]

My ship has not come in [00:01:05]

But I keep hoping though[00:01:08]

And I keep looking past the sun that sets above[00:01:12]

Saying to myself goodnight America[00:01:19]

And I am driving into Houston on a rain-slicked Texas road[00:01:39]

Land so flat and sky so dark I say a prayer to float[00:01:46]

Should all at once the San Jacinto surge beyond its banks[00:01:53]

Like Noah reaching higher ground I'd offer up my thanks[00:02:00]

'Cause I'm a stranger here [00:02:06]

No one you would know[00:02:09]

I'm just passing through I am therefore I go[00:02:12]

The moon rose in the east but now it's right above[00:02:19]

As I say aloud goodnight America[00:02:26]

Midnight it's hard to see the stars[00:03:00]

Out on a highway near Atlanta[00:03:06]

Full of strip malls & used cars[00:03:09]

First light just roll your window down and smell[00:03:14]

The salty air perfume of Charleston town[00:03:19]

I'm looking with a pilgrim's eyes[00:04:05]

Upon some promised land[00:04:08]

I'm dreaming with my heart outstretched[00:04:12]

As if it were my hand[00:04:15]

And I'll hit the Cross Bronx just in time to[00:04:18]

Beat the rush hour lock[00:04:22]

But I got no clue what time it is[00:04:25]

From this world's busted clock[00:04:28]

I'm a stranger here no one you would know[00:04:31]

I'm from somewhere else isn't everybody though[00:04:38]

I don't know where I'll be when the sun comes up[00:04:44]

But till then sweet dreams goodnight America[00:04:51]
