Producer: Desmond Child

Somewhere in America
The tour bus roars through the dead of night
The sleeping towns fade out of sight
You know what I mean
Here it comes and goes so fast
Lookin' out this window
I just see black
Sometimes I wish that I was back
And this was all a dream

I been up and down
I been lost and found
In America, in America
I been turned around
Till I don't know where I'm bound
In America, in America
And I miss you now
Just a note from America...

Livin' on the road again
I'm the only woman
In this rock and roll band
Fifty states of one night stands
You know what I mean
Railroad crossing, midnight train
Just the lonely sound
Of the clickety-clack
Still I know I can't turn back
American dream....

I been up and down
I been lost and found
In America, in America
I been turned around
Till I don't know where I'm bound
In America, in America
And I miss you now
Just a note from America...

Sometimes when it gets to me
I dream that you are next to me
I can feel you near (whisperin' my name)
I can feel your touch (take away my pain)
I can hear you say
"I just want to love you again"
Baby, baby....

Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
