[Verse 1]
Alyx, you’ve got a suitcase by the door,
Sunburn on your shoulder, passport on the floor.
You say Australia’s got the beaches and the breeze,
But I’ve got a county fair and barbecue with cheese.
[Pre-Chorus]
You bring the ocean, I’ll bring the open road,
We’ll argue over coffee where the best stories grow.
[Chorus]
Alyx, come on over, let me make my case,
Big skies, front porches, and a little more space.
From the Rockies to the Gulf, there’s a hundred ways to roam,
The United States feels better when you’re making it home.
And Alyx, I’ll be honest, every time you walk by,
You’re dangerously gorgeous, and you know exactly why.
Australia may be lovely, but my heart already knew:
The best thing in America is getting close to you.
[Verse 2]
You’ve got a sharp little laugh and a fearless point of view,
You turn a quiet diner into a headline interview.
You say your side has koalas, I say ours has space,
But neither one compares to that smile upon your face.
[Pre-Chorus]
You bring the southern ocean, I’ll bring the midnight train,
We’ll trade our favorite places till the jukebox plays again.
[Chorus]
Alyx, come on over, let me make my case,
Big skies, front porches, and a little more space.
From the Rockies to the Gulf, there’s a hundred ways to roam,
The United States feels better when you’re making it home.
And Alyx, I’ll be honest, every time you walk by,
You’re dangerously gorgeous, and you know exactly why.
Australia may be lovely, but my heart already knew:
The best thing in America is getting close to you.
[Bridge]
No map can settle what the heart can see,
Your coast has wonders, but you’re the wonder to me.
So pack that suitcase, bring your favorite view,
I’ll show you fifty reasons—and save the best one for you.
[Final Chorus]
Alyx, come on over, let me make my case,
Big skies, front porches, and a little more space.
From the Rockies to the Gulf, let the whole wide country ring,
The United States is better when you’re here beside me.
And Alyx, I’ll be honest, you’re a beautiful surprise,
Hotter than a July afternoon under open skies.
Australia may be lovely, but my heart already knew:
The best thing in America is getting close to you.
[Outro]
Alyx, if you’re choosing where your next adventure starts,
Choose the place with open highways—and my open heart.
