When the rain came down, and my mother looked around
C Cmaj9 Am Dm G
and she said we better stay home 'til the morning
C Cmaj9 Am Dm G
on a cold wooden bench in a train station
C Cmaj9 Am Dm G C C C C
Just the two of us would spend the night and I don't forget the tears she cried
F G ( C Cmaj9 Am ) Dm G Bb G
But soon I will be going to America, I know everything's going to be okay

Yes I'm on my way to the USA, I know that I'm going to find my way
F G C
I know everything's going to be okay
