[Verse 1]
A Randy Newman song, my young heart
The openin' of Major League
Oh, I was ready then, steal the third
And Cleveland was the place to be

[Chorus]
And the ghost of my hungry self
Linger in the way I feel
It's been long since I felt it all
I'm just waitin' on a word from America

[Verse 2]
There I could stumble home, fall in love
Unknowin' what I couldn't be
The Carolina wren in my heart
Pointin' at the man in me

[Chorus]
And the ghost of my risin' self
Longing for the place to be
It's been long since I've felt your face
And I'm waitin' on a word from Amеrica

[Verse 3]
And to fall into friendly arms
Oh, Sunny's, will you set me free?
It's been long sincе I felt it all
Somewhere deep into the night of America
[Bridge]
Can we just sing our song
Until we sing it right?
You'll be the rollin' cloud
I'll be the endless sky
When you're all I know
And all I see
Your trees, they sway in time, and oh
I'm carried by the reckless of your dream

[Verse 4]
A Randy Newman song, my young heart
Longin' for the place to be
I would run right out, play my part
And Cleveland was a place in me

[Chorus]
And the ghost of my hungry self
Linger in the way I speak
It's been long since I felt it all
I'm just waitin' on a word from America

[Outro]
How's your brain feeling?
