[Verse 1]
Chicago on a Friday night
I was walking from a bar with a friend of mine
We heard sirens and saw blue lights
Right in front of us
Seems her man took another mans life
I can search a wrong and never make a right
What's worst by the end of the night?
There'll be somethin' else, somewhere else
As the sun sets over the hills
In Los Angeles and New York
Somebody's tryna find a place to sleep
But daddy's lookin for daughter down in New Orleans tonight
[Chorus]
Hey man, just one more night in America
Hey man, just one more night in America
[Verse 2]
Miami on a Saturday night
Drinks are flowing all around and the pad is wide
Hope is low but the heels are high
Yeah, this town's alive, oh, na-na
She only wanted to feel some love
Didn't get much when she was growin' up
Men tried but they were never enough
She needs somethin' else or somewhere else
And in Vegas, someone's gamblin'
A family dream are two roads down
Her mother lives in poverty, hopin' her soldiers on a call
And say, "Mama, I'm fine."
[Chorus]
Hey man, just one more night in America
Hey man, just one more night in America
[Bridge]
Every time I'm here, everywhere I go
I can see the beauty, I can feel the hope
Oh, and some folks try, some folks cry
Some folks die for the stars and stripes
[Chorus]
Hey man, just one more night in America (Just one more night)
Hey man, just one more night in America (Just one more night)
Hey man (Hey man), it's one more night in America
(Just one more night, oh, na-na)
Hey man (Hey man), it's one more night in America
(Just one more night)
(Hey man, just one more night in America)
