Tim Sincere - Somewhere in America Lyrics

It was late '68 in a Delta town
At a truck stop car me and Billy sat down
The waitress she smiled as she looked in my eye
I told Billy then I'll marry that girl

And somewhere out there in America tonight
A small flame is burning for Billy and me
Hope is still hope but love is a fight
Somewhere out there in America tonight

Looking up from the sink, from the pots and the pans
She looks at her kids and looks at the man
There's a clip on TV - boys returning from 'Nam
She's certain that's Billy's tattoo on that arm

And somewhere out there in America tonight
A small flame is burning for Billy and me
Hope is still hope but love is a fight
Somewhere out there in America tonight

And sometimes between the washing of floors
The PTA meetings, insurance claim forms
Picking up toys, cutting the grass
They both feel the thrill of a thing from the past

Somewhere out there in America tonight
A small flame is burning for Billy and me
Hope is still hope but love is a fight
Somewhere out there in America tonight

Somewhere out there in America tonight
A small flame is burning for Billy and me
Hope is still hope but love is a fight
Somewhere out there in America tonight
