[Verse 1]
You’re so beautiful
But you're all alone
I see you there
But I don’t know anything
And you holding back
Just holding on
You say you're fine
Going to America

[Chorus]
You made a plan
You can sail away
Can rent a car
Take me to the place you know

[Refrain]
Take me to America, America

[Bridge]
To the great north
To the great north

[Verse 2]
Well it sounds like fun
But I don’t know anyone
Just say the word
Take me to America
I can let you go
We can take it slow
Just pack your bag
Take me to the place you know
