Lana Del Rey - Looking For America Lyrics






Took a trip to San Francisco
All our friends said we would jive
Didn't work, so I left for Fresno
It was quite a scenic drive
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
We used to only worry for them after dark

I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind

I flew back to New York City
Missed that Hudson River line
Took a train up to Lake Placid
That's another place and time, where
I used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
So many things that I think twice about before I do, no

I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind

It's just a dream I had in mind

    This song is so beautiful and it brought me to tears. This is also my vision of America and to see that Lana share that vision is so wonderful. This is what real patriotism is!! Thank you Lana!!

  18. S.... E....

    Nice song. In times like this we need comfort.

  19. t.... l....

    i don’t know how but this song reminds me of summer. i love christmas but winter sucks honestly. this song reminds me of a more carefree time, where my only worries were what sandwich i was going to get at publix before going to the beach. it’s sounds silly but it’s the simple things you know

  20. d.... r....

    Just a Girl from Fresno California. Born and raised 💕

  21. D.... B....

    I love Lana. America is currently divided and the 2 political parties need to get their act together. For fucks sake. We're Americans. Kindness first. Let's bring back family values and be united! A dream I have in mind. Beautiful song! Just want all the people who aren't from the U.S to know that America is a beautiful country where most people want to live a good life and want the best for their neighbors. Us Americans are very privileged to live here with all the freedoms in the world. There are 330 million citizens and there are bound to be some crazies. Don't let it dissuade you from visiting or moving here! Peace to all! ❤✌🏽

    we can all agree here that this song hits the hardest out ofall the other songs it just smacks you down like it creates that lust for life vibe and adresses the utmost important issues found in america and across the world... we love you lana

  30. L.... S....

    Ladies & gentlemen, please rise for The National Anthem. 👩🏻👨🏻

  31. K.... ....

    This song should’ve landed in NFR. It’s so beautiful and has enough depth delivered in such a haunting melody. SO good.

  32. A.... C....

    Lana Del Rey has such a knack for mixing the personal, the political, and the profound.

  33. J.... F....

    Where’s my Fresno People at🔥😭





    Finished hearing the song and Beautiful 🖤🖤

  34. r.... p....

    Love this woman ❤

  35. N.... C....

    🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦❤❤❤💋

  36. M.... S....

    Can Lana Del Rey be our president for 2020?

  37. B.... C....

    Nicole dollanganger vibes

    B.... C....

    how lol

  38. F.... h....

    I’m not american but I’m proud of America

  39. R.... G....

    I'm crying for Mexico right now... we are tired of violence...

  40. C.... A....

    @LanaDelRey I'm not sure why I can't get this song out of my head... maybe because it's such a beautiful dream.

  41. C.... A....

    She has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard

  42. f.... ....

    i think this song is about a lot of things. like when you've built your minecraft house put a lot of flowers down and someone burns it down and you watch everyone kill each other and take your friends and you just want to be safe while the world around you seems like its ending

  43. b.... l....

    迪卡過來的……

  44. h.... ....

    I’m not American, but I’m so sad and I crying for America, thanks Lana 🖤

  45. v.... q....

    This song makes me daydreamy.

  46. 0.... A....

    Lana is true american🇺🇸❤️

  47. N.... S....

    first of all, I'm so sorry,
    im not american, and im bad at english enough...
    This song suddenly appeared on my playlist. I thought this song was a lullaby, cause it sounds like that. i know the track called 'looking for america' yet without knowing the meaning.. i mean i just can only know the instruments of it, but i dont really understand what she says/sings after i read these comment sections, and read the lyrics, i finally knew what this song is about... for me it's a duality

  48. C.... T....

    Question: How can this have only 5.5 million views and have any dislikes?! This song is underappreciated! This is art that should be seen by everyone in the world!

  49. T.... C....

    This song is legit magic

  50. J.... A....

    Magnificent ...
    real Nostalgia

    I just did a cover of this song. please guys if you check it out. I would appreciate your comments.<3

  51. �.... ....

    This is so incredible😢😢😢💕

  52. S.... K....

    So happy when i hear this...

  53. B.... G....

    "No bombs in the sky"

  54. a.... k....

    Can someone explain why this wasn’t on NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL please?

    a.... k....

    The song was written after the album was mastered. It was a response to the two recent mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, and she donated all the proceeds of the song to charities against gun violence.

    a.... k....

    dmwegnerowicz7554 that’s beautiful

  55. V.... M....

    I'm sure Lana's gonna be our president one day

  56. K.... ....

    Anyone know the significance of the knocking sound at 2:14 ?

    K.... ....

    changed sounds of gunshots

    K.... ....

    Klem oh lol I’m dumb thanks

    K.... ....

    Crappy production

  57. W.... S....

    A song that has the potential to be timeless. In 50 years people will see if dreams were only dreams.

  58. E.... L....

  66. D.... C....

    I don’t understand why some of her best work isn’t on her albums. This is a prime example...

    D.... C....

    Doin time is number 1 on the alternative list, for the second week in a row. She can make any cover a number 1.

  67. d.... L....

    LDR 4 President

  70. �.... �....

    And I’m still looking for my own version of UKRAINE🇺🇦
    “One without the gun, where our flag can freely fly

    S.... M....

    Very unexpected

  72. N.... i....

  73. G.... G....

    Abbey Road cover

  74. A.... ....

    I'm European but this song nearly made me cry
    Can't describe how beautiful it is

  75. b.... b....

    goosebumps, legit goosebumps

  76. O.... ....

    This is legitimately one of her best songs. A tragedy this wasn't on NFR, because this is a modern classic

  77. S.... ....

    god lana you really really changed my life. i used to listen to your songs as a teenager and i'm barely an adult now but it's an honour to come back to your gorgeous, heavenly sound 💕

  78. P.... C....

    Every politician should listen to th is song

  79. s.... ....

    i forgot how much i love her

  80. A.... C....

    After having a school shooting threat in a neighboring school today, this song really hit me (especially because today happens to be 9/11) it's strange that we don't notice how beautiful life is until we're on death's doorstep. I wish there was an end to all the crap happening in the world, people forget that every life counts. It shouldn't matter what age, race, nationality, religion, etc... we are. We're all human and we all get stuck in the mud, we should be building each other up instead of tearing each other down.

  81. C.... T....

    Natural, calm, elegant, and very nostalgic. That's why I love her.

  82. l.... l....

    11 September listening anyone?

  83. s.... p....

    why isn't this song on the album lol

    s.... p....

    stephanie pankewich this was released after the shooting at ElPaso Texas ... her album was already done months prior

  84. B.... M....

    She’s amazing. her voice is one that only comes around once in a long while.

  85. S.... Z....

    Her voice gives me chills

  86. r.... ....

    Oh My God....It is so sweet....and warm....it is waking up to your lover's eyes.....early in the morning.....and feel the love....

  87. M.... T....

    so the internet made her famous...lol. good for her.

    M.... T....

    no, she made herself famous in 2007

  88. D.... C....

    I'm not American but all of her patriotic songs always make me feel so emotional

  89. n.... m....

    This is so peaceful😌 i really like it, it just fits my mood rn

  90. 7.... ....

    Thank you Lana for this song you wrote after the mass shootings in El paso and Dayton Ohio

  91. G.... G....

    Joan Baez Woodstock Summer of Love vibes. Thank you, Lana ♥️
