She was so young when she took the street Born too late in the mid-day heat Her parents said : "she went to America" She wasted days and she wasted nights Everybody's girl, nobody's child Her mother said: "she went to America" Another day and another time Heaven is so hard to find Sarah said : "hello America" I don't care where I sleep tonight I don't care if I'm right I like to dance, catch the wind When Sarah smiles, her eyes shining blue I know she's smiling straight from her heart When Sarah smiles, it means heaven too I know her heart is breaking apart When Sarah smiles She was so young when she left her home Back to things like a rolling stone Rocky said: "she went to America" She cried some tears, she said goodbye Wants to go where the eagle fly Her mother said: "she went to America" She was alone in a lonely world On l.a. drive, she met a girl Sarah said: "hello America" I like to see an ocean in the sky Don't stop me, when I try I like to dance, catch the wind
