PEAAAK ABSOLUTE PEAAAK

You can drive across the whole thing 
in four days if you really wanted 
leaving custom thank you notes 
in all the houses you ever haunted 

in this whole solar system 
we've only met one type of life 
it's the living kind of life 
and it's not one I recognize 

America 

I said "excuse me" to the ocean 
because I thought I had got in its way 
at first I didn't think it heard me 
but then I saw it wave 

you can spend every living moment thinking 
how can I get out alive? 
but is it really then, can you really call it 
hey man, just shut up and drive 

I thought we'd be on the road all night when that ice storm hit in Texas 
and when we pulled into the gas station it was like a frozen oasis
oh, sweet mama, does that neon sign shine for me? 
Is there a street where my name glows all through the night? 

and I've never read (America) 
no I've never been (America) 
I just never went (America) 
I have never seen (America) 

all my fantasies are faking orgasms 
they're only in it for the money I made up for them 
I trade in ideas, opinion and artistry 
and my face is on every dollar 

this is heaven but heaven is here 
this is heaven but heaven is hard 
because your lover is listening to music you don't know 
and you're tangled up in the headphone wires 

you know our problems, they don't end 
just because we get boy/girlfriends 
is this your salvation plan? 

there's only one type of love 
it's the loving kind of love 
but when you're mad at me it's the end of times 
and I'm mad at you all the other times 

have I ever really been in love? 
I guess I've never really been in love 
have I ever really 
not in the way I'm thinking 

real life's a mess 
but at least you're not paying rent 
you've been making it, maybe even breaking even 
you oughta be content 

it doesn't make sense 
you're still sitting on the fence 
when the yard is yours 
and it was money well spent 

and I've never read 
no, I've never been 
I just never went 
I have never seen 
America 
America 
democracy 
biographies 

civil rights! basically 
bright lights! living in the city 
second prize in a beauty pageant 
200 dollars, this is life, this is your life! 
America! 
this is heaven 
this is the place

America (Never Been)

Cruisin’ down 75 with the top rolled back,
Ray-Bans on and her boots up on the dash.
That sundress swayin’, Lord, have mercy,
That peach so sweet, drippin’ down like honey.
She’s got that slow-roll, two-step shake,
Like a backroad rhythm on a tailgate break…
She’s my Georgia peach, ripe and gold,
Sugar so sweet, gonna take my soul.
When she walks by, every heart beats fast,
Like a summer storm rollin’ in too fast.
She’s my Georgia peach, fresh off the vine,
Lord, she’s fire, and she’s mine!
Moonlight glow, yeah, she’s shinin’ bright,
Spinnin’ me ‘round in the neon light.
Slide guitar cryin’, bass walkin’ mean,
That thing back there got a mind of its own, it seems.
She’s got that slow-roll, two-step shake,
Like a backroad rhythm on a tailgate break…
She’s my Georgia peach, ripe and gold,
Sugar so sweet, gonna take my soul.
When she walks by, every heart beats fast,
Like a summer storm rollin’ in too fast.
She’s my Georgia peach, fresh off the vine,
Lord, she’s fire, and she’s mine!
From the Chattahoochee to the neon glow,
Ain’t a soul in the room that don’t already know…
She’s my Georgia peach, ripe and gold,
Sugar so sweet, got me losin’ control.
When she moves, yeah, the whole world stops,
Like a steel-string slide on a country rock bop!
She’s my Georgia peach, smooth and fine,
And Lord, I’m hers, and she’s mine!
Yeah, that Georgia heat ain’t got nothin’ on her,
That peach too good to let go, that’s for sure…
