America is an English-American folk rock band, that originally consisted of Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek. The three members were barely out of their teens, when they became a musical sensation during 1972, scoring No. 1 hits and winning a Grammy for best new musical artist. Their recording success stretched throughout the 1970s; some of the band's best known songs are "A Horse with No Name", "Sister Golden Hair" (both of which reached No. 1), "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Daisy Jane", and "Lonely People". George Martin produced seven of their albums. more »

Now I'm high in the city 
Feel the evening air 
The crowds in the city 
Compete for a share 
It's all so busy, a complete affair 
Down here... 

As I walk through marble 
Finding my way out to daylight 
One drinking orange vodka 
Someone inside here 
Will give us a ride dear 

I know a place where we both can go 
To set our hearts on fire 
I know the city's the only show 

Can I take you for a ride 
I can make you satisfied 
All 'n all it's worth your while 
Change that frown back to a smile 
Tonight 

Do or die in the misty city 
All night long 
A nightclub in the middle 
Tappin' time to my song 
Catch hell for leavin' 
They are always wrong 
Down here... 

As I walk through marble 
Finding my way in the night-light 
Two people sit and argue 
Someone inside here 
Will give them a ride clear 

I know a place where we both can go 
To set our hearts on fire 
I know the city's the only show 

Can I take you for a ride 
I can make you satisfied 
All 'n all it's worth your while 
Change that frown back to a smile 
Tonight
