America

She's been outta town

Halfway across the world in America

He's been foolin' around

Savin' his love and hopes he can marry her

But she knows

Now she's home

Says wouldn't it be nice

If he was the kind of guy

Who stayed home

No more roam

But my sisters and my brothers

Told me 'bout your lovers

So I'm goin'

Be leavin' you

Won't go

Believin' you

I won't be seein' you

I don't remember you

I won't be needin' you

Won't go believin' you

Now that I'm leavin' ya

Back to America

My lord

My lord

So now he ain't so proud

Waitin' in town to try and explain to her

She ain't waitin' around

She's halfway across the world in America

'Cause she knows

That he won't

Say he's really sorry

How he's hopin' his apology

Would let go

Of all those

Sisters and mothers

He was makin' lovers

Now I'm goin'

Be leavin' you

Won't go

Believin' you

I won't be seein' you

I don't remember you

I won't be needin' you

Won't go believin' you

Now that I'm leavin' ya

Back to America

My lord

My lord

My lord, my lord, my lord

She's been outta town

Halfway across the world in America
