    America what a Great band and still touring and making Great music. And I also believe so overlooked by the industry. I still have my America tour shirt that Dewey and Gerry signed when they came to Peoria and played at a riverfront gig. Keep Rocking America and Thank You.

    Absolutely LOVE these guys! Cannot wait to see them again this year. Especially since it is their 50th Anniversary Tour! But I have a question. Has anyone else noticed that on the songs that Dewey sings, Gerry always seems to scrunches himself way down when he is singing/playing guitar. It is almost like he is trying to make himself shorter than Dewey? I'm afraid he is going to fall one day. But he never does it when he sings.

    You must be lost in a faraway land I searched forever your footprints in the sand I feel you need me, I have to answer That desperate call that I do not understand A burning bridge, a lonely highway Another dark night thinking alone What could've happened, am I just dreaming It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know If I could make it to the border If I could make it to the coast If I could make it to the border I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Make it to the border So on and on I keep on running To make the border before the light Just one more river, then I can make it Again you'll be in my arms tonight

    Exceptional guitarists, both acoustic and electric. I can't imagine what it would have been like to see them when all 3 were in the band. And Dan Peek, IMO, was the best guitarist of them all! Imagine that. RIP Dan Peek

    Mine too-- I went about 15 years without hearing it. Then heard it twice on two different radio stations in 1999--both while traveling in NW Ohio.

    America stole the hook for this song from me, which if you ask me is the whole song. I gave it to a girl who was good friends with them at a B.M.I. song pitch in Hollywood, and six months later it was on the radio! They never gave me any credit, which stinks, but at least people got to hear it. True story!!!

    The group America stole this song from me many years ago! I wrote the chorus part and left it with a girl who said she was friends with the group "America". Six moths later I was driving in my car when I heard a song that sounded familiar. Than I realized it was mine! They never fessed up and threatened to sick their lawyer on me for bothering them and Capitol Records.

    It would have been interesting to see which version would have fared better .... the original or the Gerry Beckley Guitar riff....... ! : )
