America - Sister Golden Hair Lyrics






Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Doo wop doo wop ...

  1. P.... J....

    I was there, we lost.

  2. C.... C....

    Miss Stevens brought me here!

  3. A.... S....

    Great episode of the Midnight Special from 1977!  Wished this show went on years longer than it did.  Definitely don't have the overall quality music these days like back then lol

  4. C.... A....

    My parents taught me that if I have nothing positive to add to the conversation, there is no obligation to contribute to it. Why would anyone choose to say something negative here about the song. Are people that bored? Crabby or not.

  5. L.... P....

    For those who don't know they were children of military families who were stationed in Germany.

    Just a bit of trivia for you.

    Though they were capable of sunny California pop and Beatlesque melodies (both of which were helped along by The Beatles producer George Martin), America were one of the defining soft-rock trios of the late '70s, sporting killer harmonies, strange lyrics, and a knack for pop hooks that could ape just about anybody.America's best known songs are 1)A horse with no name 2)Ventura Highway 3)Sister Golden Hair,4)You can do magic 5) Daisy Jane 6)The Border

    U.... M....

    Wow rocking a 12 string Ovation?

  8. L.... M....

    Thank You America for all the Great Songs and Memories. Real Music

  9. R.... C....

    December 2019...and I STILL love these guys..

  10. W.... G....

    sacanagem, o cara que toca melhor neste conjunto, ninguem mostra, que é o guitarrista, nossa que horror.

    Amazing how one group can consistently have the most lame lyrics in their songs....

    p.... m....

    "There were plants and birds and rocks and things..." 👀👻🍺🍺

    p.... m....

    "DOO DOO DOO DO-DO...
    DOO DOO DOO DO-DO...
    DOO DOO DOO DO-DO...
    1..2..3..4...."

  12. A.... L....

    timeless!

  13. K.... C....

    This song was stuck in my head all morning 😂

  14. M.... P....

    Gerry Beckley got more pu$$y than Frank Sinatra with a pocketful of Quaaludes.™ 👻🍺💊

  15. C.... C....

    born in 1996 but this is probably my anthem. some said i should take khalid, post malone, and the likes but man this kind of song pumps me up.

  16. T.... M....

    The song was written by pretty-boy singer, Gerry Beckley. He has always been rather obtuse about the lyrics.
    My take is that the song is about his "feminine-self." I mean, he was one of those guys that are so fair-skinned, light-haired and good-looking, that he could have been mistaken for a girl, especially with the long hair of the 70s. He kinda looks like Heather Locklips in some pictures I've seen.
    Gerry was just trying to get in touch with his inner vagina. ("Sister Golden Hair...SURPRISE!!") Analyze the lyrics and you'll see what I mean!
    PS-- I've loved this song since I 1st heard it.
    (Also, I'm just kidding about the meaning.)

  17. T.... M....

    Growing up in central NJ, my HS and college girlfriend had "Golden Hair." We both had very long, blond(e) hair and were very tanned. We were a good-looking couple.
    By the time this song became a #1 hit in the USA, we had started to drift apart; not quite broken up but not quite still together.
    This song has, from the 1st time I heard it, reminded me of her. Forty-five years later, she (H.C.) is still the love of my life.
    This is the only song I am aware of where the vocals-countdown ("1..2..3..4") occurs at the end, not the beginning, of the song.

  18. m.... ....

    just saw them last night! They're voices sound the same! Brilliant band

  19. B.... M....

    I never would have thought the voice of the band America looked like this clean cut singer with glasses. No way.

    B.... M....

    Brody McCain this was a later version you have too see the original version of how he looked when this song first came out 🤗

  20. X.... R....

    Cooler than dry ice and down like Four flat tires with a spare with out air 😜

  21. K.... B....

    Now THIS was back when musicians knew how to play their instruments.

    As a side note I got into an argument with my friend and mistook this song as belonging to the Eagles. I was wrong. But they're great too.

  22. �.... �....

    2019. Miss you.

  23. c.... ....

    PLAYBACK

  24. D.... C....

    This song is the frickin JAM !!!!!

  25. M.... 1....

    This is my favorite song from them. This one sounds so much like the record though that I think they were lip-syncing. That was the way things were done then but I wish it had been an actual live performance.

  26. R.... H....

    Just saw America live in Canberra Australia. FANTASTIC!!! They can still do magic!!

  27. O.... G....

    No Dan Peek on stage???

  28. R.... T....

    Great American band, still my favorite.

  29. R.... R....

    Rock on Dewey and boys.

  30. g.... ....

    Still listening in a snowy and nostalgic afternoon black friday 2019

  31. A.... ....

    Absolutely love this song

  32. W.... j....

    When music was real and well written......unlike this crap we're stuck with today // rock on~

  33. R.... C....

    Look how tight they are. That's the studio recording on the vid of a live performance. They don't miss a thing. :Love it.

  34. i.... h....

    we were blessed with some great music in 70s.

  35. M.... C....

    I listened it for the first time back in high school 45 years ago

  36. J.... S....

    GREAT SONG. LOVE, LOVE

  37. T.... H....

    Jackie here I am, can't you see me.

  38. D.... S....

    A Golden Era of Music

  39. B.... I....

    Another example of why my #1 and #2 presets on my satellite radio are the 60's channel and the 70's channel.

  40. R.... I....

    These guys sell out for two nights every year at the Arcada Theater!!! ❤️❤️❤️

  41. P.... K....

    Great song, but I despise lip synching! (not the bands fault, but the fault of these pathetic TV shows)

  42. N.... A....

    remain me of my school day

  43. I.... N....

    I went to see these guys last night with my parents - America’s 50th anniversary tour. They still sound like this live. Brilliant group 👍

  44. f.... ....

    Good song!!!

  45. T.... D....

  46. T.... D....

    OH GERRY ! PLEASE, WILL YOU MARRY ME ? I LOVE YOU BABY. ♥️🇧🇷

  47. D.... M....

    #ugottalisten2b4udie

    I been one poor correspondent, and I been too-too hard to find,

    but it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind.

    Will you meet me in the middle? Will you meet me in the air?

    Will you love me just a little? Just enough to show you care?
