Gretta Ray
America Forever
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna go home
No, you can't make me
I've just settled in
And the weather's been so nice lately
I think getting on that plane, it might break me
I'll stay, a runaway
Pray that you don't chase me

[Pre-Chorus]
Could find me hiding in a Trader Joe's
Could find me driving down on Melrose
There ain't no telling where I'm gonna go
But I know

[Chorus]
If I'm leaving, then I'm making a decision about
Everything I'm never ready to figure out
Easier when living with my head in the clouds
So whatever
I'm staying in Amеrica
Where I am limitless and living it up
You can call mе crazy, go on calling my bluff
Easier when here is where I feel like enough
So forever
I'm staying in America
(Staying in America)

[Verse 2]
Taking footage of Pasadena in sunlight
Bound to watch it over to recall what it felt like
When it was all possible
Rose-coloured glasses clear the roads
That lead to a version of me that I can't leave behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Swear here I'm headed on the right track
I'll throw a tantrum on the tarmac
Kicking and screaming for the whole flight
'Cause I know

[Chorus]
If I'm leaving, then I'm making a decision about
Everything I'm never ready to figure out
Easier when living with my head in the clouds
So whatever
I'm staying in America
Where I am limitless and living it up
You can call me crazy, go on calling my bluff
Easier when here is where I feel like enough
So forever
I'm staying in America
[Post-Chorus]
Hmm, hmm
Staying in America
Hmm, hmm

[Bridge]
Bury me in Santa Monica
You know Laurel Canyon has my heart
Nothing better than a brand new start
Or just a little longer being kept apart

[Chorus]
'Cause in leaving, I'll be making a decision about
Everything I'm never ready to figure out
Easier when living with my head in the clouds
So whatever
I'm staying in America
Where I am limitless and living it up
You can call me crazy, go on calling my bluff
Easier when here is where I feel like enough
So forever
I'm staying in America

[Outro]
Ooo-oh, ooo-oh
Staying in America
Ooo-oh, ooo-oh
Staying in America
Ooo-oh, ooo-oh
Staying in America
Ooo-oh, ooo-oh
