Main Street U.S.A.

by Grace Potter

Lyrics
I sent a postcard, just like a movie
Bye-bye, everyone who ever knew me
I'm gone, I'm gonna get myself a new name
And put a thousand miles between me and the mainframe
And I hope there's still a heartbeat humming like a freight train

I've been trying to find Main Street, U.S.A.
With the boys and the girls and the jukebox playing
Down at the Big Top, popping off, calling my name
I'm looking for a place called (Main Street, U.S.A.)
Main Street

They're cooking True Crime down at the Four Score
You bring the box wine, I'll bring the what for
Come on, come on, catch me if you can (catch me if you can, can)
They'll be looking for the boogeyman
And I'll be rocking in the cradle where it all began

We'll be dancing down on Main Street, U.S.A.
With the boys and the girls and the jukebox playing
Down at the Big Top, popping off, calling my name
There's got to be a place called (Main Street, U.S.A.)

Can't put my finger on it
Have I been missing something?
Did someone rip out the page?
I swear I think I saw it
The land of milk and honey
Or did I hallucinate?
The feeling I've been chasing
So close that I can taste it
Let me dream, set me free
Open up, set me free

Take me down to Main Street, U.S.A.
With the boys and the girls and the jukebox playing
Down at the Big Top, popping off, calling my name
And anything can happen and it probably will

I see the wig shop, Mardi Gras rodeo dames
And the prettiest drag queens you ever did see
I said, "Holy moly, take me to the place
Where anything can happen, anything can happen"
I said, "Holy moly, take me to the place
Where anything can happen on Main Street, U.S.A."

'Cause I ain't found it yet
But when I do
I'll send a postcard
