Lyrics: America. Here & Now. This Time.

When the whistle blows
And the goodbye hugs are over
Then the train pulls out of the station
And rolls towards the dawn

With that old suitcase in hand
And a surefire plan gone over
This time it will work
It can't go wrong

'Cause I've got all of our dreams
Mixed up with my schemes
Rolling around in my mind
I know the sun's gonna shine
Shine on me this time

In a week or two
I'll be writing to you with good news
And I can just see your smile
As you read about all that I've done

'Cause I've got all of our plans
Right here in my hands
And things are gonna work out just fine
'Cause I know the sun's gonna shine
Shine on me this time

I've seen confusion in your eyes
I've seen uncertainty and fear
Keep on looking for tomorrow
Soon it will be here

This time, it's gonna be this time
This time, it's gotta be this time
This time, it's never never
This time, the day is coming

This time, it's never never
This time, the day is coming
This time, it's never never
This time, the day is coming
