Colorado in the morning I saw the sun rise through my windshield
And the mountains looked so pretty As they sucked the life out of your brakes
And you blamed me for driving too slow And I blamed you for not down-shifting
And we argued, but we kept traveling The first of many more mistakes

We left the West Coast for Massachusetts Seeking a new life, seeking a change of pace
Said we’d tell our future children ’bout how we traveled like backwards pioneers
But then you blamed me for packing too much And I blamed you for choosing a crazy route
And we argued, we argued loudly You yelled so loudly, it hurt my ears

And I wrote this tune as a warning to
Anybody who thinks their love is true
You can test it out three thousand miles in seven days
It’s love versus the USA

We fought in Boise about the hotel we fought in Utah about the Mormons
We fought in Omaha, I don’t remember why, we fought in Iowa about the corn
And in Ohio we saw lake Eerie and had a very peaceful afternoon
But in Pennsylvania, I blew a tire you broke my jack I lost your phone you cursed the day that I was born!
And I wrote this tune as a warning to
Anybody who thinks their love is true
You can test it out three thousand miles in seven days
It’s love versus the USA

Some things were never meant to be
Some people make bad company
Beneath those spacious skies, those amber waves of grain
Put a strain upon my brain, I fear our love will not remain

When we got to Massachusetts we took different roads we weren’t together anymore
And I didn’t blame you, you didn’t blame me either
Love: zero, US: one, that’s the score
And I wrote this tune as a warning to
Anybody who thinks their love is true
You can test it out three thousand miles in seven days
It’s love versus the USA
