This Time - America

When the whistle blows

And the goodbye hugs are over

Then the train pulls out of the station and rolls towards the dawn

With that old suitcase in hand and a surefire plan gone over

This time it will work it can’t go wrong

Cause I’ve got all of our dreams mixed up with my schemes

Rollin' around in my mind

I know the sun’s gonna shine

Shine on me this time

In a week or two

I’ll be writing to you with good news

And I can just see your smile as you read about all that I’ve done

Cause I’ve got all of our plans right here in my hands

And things are gonna work out just fine

Cause I know the sun’s gonna shine

Shine on me this time

I’ve seen confusion in your eyes

I’ve seen uncertainty and fear

Keep on lookin' for tomorrow

Soon it will be here

This time, it’s gonna be this time

This time, it’s gotta be this time

This time, this time (it's now or never)

This time, this time (the day is coming)

This time, this time (it's now or never)

This time, this time (the day is coming)
