lyrics

Lyrics:

I am tryin’ now just to remember
what this meant to me when I was young.
The city was a beacon in a valley
A place where we could run.
And now, we’re on the road…
San Francisco to New York City, and just 3,000 miles to go.

Some days feel like more than I can handle,
Sometimes I stop, but then I think of you.
I’ve got to believe this is all for something…
I do the best that I can do.
And now, we’re on the road…
San Francisco to New York City and just America to go.

The wheels keep turning, Open up the flood gates
to test what I’ve become.
If I’m still standing, sure as I am speaking
The hardest part is done.

I sometimes get the feeling we were born,
far from where we’re really meant to be.
If circumstance is only just a mindset,
than why can’t that be me?
And now, we’re on the road…
San Francisco to New York City, and just America to go.
