In open arms we put our trust they put us on a big red bus

Twin spirits soaking up a dream

Fuel to feed the press machine

With little room to swing a cat

And pretty soon we were where it's at
Ab Bb CM7
Or so the papers say

And all around us suntanned teens, beauty like we'd never seen

Our heroes led us by the hand
Dm7 G7
Through Brian Wilson's promised land
C/E F G
Where Disney's God and he commands
Ab Bb CM7
Both mice and men to stay

Eb Bb/D C
In a bright red Porsche on Sunset I saw Steve Mcqueen
Eb Bb/D C
I guess he's just about the coolest guy I've ever seen

And for you and me that speeding car is how it's going to be

I see no brakes just open road and lots of gasoline

Oh we heard Richard Nixon say, welcome to the U-S-A

We've fallen in and I can't pull back
