Can’t Understand the News

I'm just turnin' up, and now I'm goin' down below
I'm in America and I've got nowhere to go
Time is burning up, it's burnin' both fast and slow
And in America, oh I don't know what I know

Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready
I can't understand the news in a foreign city

The driver's up ahead but he's movin' kinda slow
I'm in a land of sun that's buried in the snow
Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready

I'm goin' out alone, but I've got no place in mind
I'm goin' where everyone is hanging out at night
The lights burn up the road, but they're burnin' kinda low
Guess all I'm looking for is that steady distant glow

Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready
I can't understand the news in a foreign city

I'm goin' out alone, and I'm gonna fade from sight
A distant country band plays deep into the night
The driver's up ahead, but he's got no place in mind
He's in America and he's lookin' for a good time

Summer's almost gone but I don't feel ready
I can't understand the news in a foreign city
