I MISS AMERICA

I grew up in small city town
My friends were all there
We would stay up late almost every night
Just wanted to have some fun
Well time never waited for anyone
We all grew up so fast
But my memories of life still remain
The love is still the same

I miss America, it's everything I need
I miss America, home of the free

Well my girl was there all so sweet
In the middle of the night we would meet
Playing our song on the radio
Cruising down El Camino Real
Oh our lives were just a heartbeat back then
Dreaming of becoming women and men
And I miss all those games we used to play at night
Always dreaming of a better day

It was way down in 1985
The year I had to go
Leaving you alone far behind
We made plans that you would still be mine
Dancing with you one more night
Holding you close to me
Made us feel like life would never end
All those moments we felt back then
