The people slam their brakes to see
Other people's misery
Packaged up as reality
I'd like to heal the pain I see
But I've got responsibilities
For bigger people's luxuries
Packaged up as industry
But who's looking out for me?
The left side's misdirected
And the right side's out of touch
The green light only seems to shine
On those who have too much
The highway that I travel
Ain't exactly paved in gold
I love and hate this bumpy ride
That we call
American Road
We stop and go
American Road
We stop and go, we stop and go
We rallied close together once
But that was then, that's yesterday
A land of sisters and brothers, babe
It's just people in my way
To hiding in my comfort zone
And eating more than my fair share
But I'm looking for a reason now
To find the strength to care
My right side's misdirected
And my left side's out of touch
The yellow light plays on my fear
That I'll never have enough
The highway that I travel
Ain't exactly paved in gold
I love and hate this bumpy ride
That we call
American Road
We stop and go
American Road
We stop and go, stop and go
I'm sometimes misdirected
And I'm in and out of touch
The red light's got me singled out
When I think of it too much
The highway we all travel
Has to be repaved with soul
To get us through tis rocky ride
That we call
American Road
We stop and go
American Road
We stop and go, we stop and go
American Road
We stop and go
American Road
Come on, let's roll, let's roll
Let's roll, let's roll, let's roll
Come on let's roll
