Answer 1

America » Lonely People

This is for all the lonely people

Thinking that life has passed them by

Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup

And ride that highway in the sky



This is for all the single people

Thinking that love has left them dry

Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup

You never know until you try



Well, Im on my way

Yes, Im back to stay

Well, Im on my way back home (hit it)



This is for all the lonely people

Thinking that life has passed them by

Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup

And never take you down or never give you up

You never know until you try

Answer 2

Wow! What a poor assignment - Got a hippie professor, huh?

"I've been through the desert on a horse with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain. In the desert you can't remember your name 'cause there ain't no on to give you no fame" Hope he doesn't mind the English in that one.

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

Google "America - the band".

Answer 3

America? Those guys are from my era and I thought they were junk even then.

Now, Steely Dan... they had some lyrics...

Hey Nineteen...that's 'Retha Franklin.
She don't remember The Queen of Soul.
Hard times befallin' the Soul Survivors.
She thinks I'm crazy, but I'm just growin' old.

Shove that lyric in his face and watch him blush in recognition of himself.
