original cast of ride - across america lyrics

[annie, sung]
the crowd’s going wild
their energy aimed at
one spot, a dot, a frame
a single entity, a sight to see
the crowd’s going wild
and who’s to say
that this n0body from boston
isn’t gonna blow the world away

she’s standing at the line
her vibrancy feeds the applause
she draws her gun, pearl+handled
holds it high and shoots the sky
she’s standing at the line
and who’s to say
that this n0body from tenement b
won’t pave the way

and you can’t stop her now
she’s racing across america
oh, and she won’t come back down
she’s flying

(spoken)
the press love me
they offer me paid interviews!
i start lecturing on my specialist subjects
and selling ad sp+ce on my body
before long, anyone who is anyone
is fighting for a sp+ce on annie’s back
(sung)
i’m on the open road
untravelled adventures await
each state, a revelation
ev’ry turn, a chance to learn
i’m on the open road
i sleep beneath the stars
and sure, there’s been some lumps and bumps
infected wounds and battle scars

but i have to stay the course
each tendon, each ligament aches
it takes the spirit of
an amazon to carry on
but i have to stay the course
though i am black and blue
this n0body from tenement b
will see this through

and you can’t stop me now
i’m racing across america
oh, and i won’t come back down
i’m flying
i’m trying

it’s all an idea
of how it’ll be
a romanticized scene
a chance to be free
a fun, upbeat story
all smiles and cheer
but what’s going on
beneath the veneer?
one putrid outfit
that’s laden with mud
two blackened knees
adorned with dry blood
three months of toil
in the u.s. of a
success couldn’t seem
any further away

four sleepless nights
lying out in the cold
five blocks of ad sp+ce
i still haven’t sold
six weeks of feeling
this ache in my chest
the crippling fear
that i won’t pass this test

(spoken)
it’s september, and i’ve only made it to chicago
there’s no chance i can get through the rockies to san francisco before snow begins to fall
which means i can’t board the ship to asia as planned
i make a public statement that i failed

[martha, spoken]
you can do it, though
i know you can
[annie, spoken]
it takes me a week to get myself together
i swap my idiotic skirt for a cycling suit
designed for, yep, you guessed it, men
and i pave out a new route
i’ll swallow my pride and head back the way i came
and if i’m fast enough, when i get to new york
i can catch the la touraine line to france
then i can do my planned route in reverse!
finally sailing from j+pan to san fran
before racing toward the finish line in chicago. yes!

[both, sung]
and oh, you can’t stop me now
i’m racing across america
oh (oh), i won’t come back down
i’m flying
i’m flying
