Mama they say the snow this winter
Beat you to the ground
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone
Wish I could see the blazin' sunset
Falling right into the bay
But I'm a long time gone, long time goneTo dream the dream that's over
To live and love again, oh my America
And to be where my footsteps lead me over
To be born again tonightI want to be there on our back porch
Looking on down the road
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone
The troubles here, they pass me by
I want to get home to you
But I'm a long time gone, long time goneTo dream the dream that's over
To live and love again, oh my America
And to be where my footsteps lead me over
To be born again tonightLonely days, lonely nights
Caught up in someone else's fight
I'm holdin' on and you're so strong
All I want to be is just holdin' you tonightTo dream the dream that's over
To live and love again, oh my America
And to be where my footsteps lead me over
To be born again tonightTo dream the dream that's over
To live and love again, oh my America
And to be where my footsteps lead me over
To be born again tonight
