Her eyes were so warm and inviting,
Like steamy diner windows on a cold winter
day
The November air was so biting
We could see our breath in my old Chevrolet
Taking the longest way home I could find
It was cold, but she loved me, and I had to stop time
There's nothing like falling in love in America
Well, I've never yet been to Paris
And I've never been one to like fancy
perfume
But I've held hands with Jessica Harris
And walked by the creek with the red bud in bloom
Those writers in Cosmo, they don't know a
thing
And France ain't got nothin' on Kentucky in
Spring
And there's nothing like falling in love in
America
(Chorus)
America. Lift up your lonely and broken
The hopeless still hopin'
America Heal up the hearts that are achin
Those yet to be taken
There's nothing like falling in love in
America
A dance at a High School gymnasium
The kids line the walls like they're facing a firing squad
They're waiting for transfiguration
Or some kind of sign from a merciful God
If I thought that they'd listen (and they haven't, so far)
I'd tell them how beautiful and bright they all are
And there's nothing like falling in love in
America
I know it all comes down to perspective
And there's so many beautiful things we can't see
But our vision just needs resurrected
We take so much for granted when so much comes free
And I know it may seem like it's all upside down
But if we ever needed a love song, it's now
And there's nothing like falling in love in
America
(Chorus)
America. Lift up your lonely and broken
The hopeless still hopin'
America Heal up the hearts that are achin
Those yet to be taken
There's nothing like falling in love
There's nothing like falling in love
There's nothing like falling in love
In America
