fogelberg dan - Faces Of America слова песни
There was a timeA simpler timeWhen a man could be sure of where he stoodI used to work at the yardWorking honest and hardThe hours were long but the pay was goodI had a family and friendsSo many friendsWe`d drive to the lake on holidaysBack then it wasn`t so dearFor a sandwich or beerAt night I still dream I can see their facesCertain things that you depend uponThere are places that you knowAnd the faces of AmericaOh, where did they go?Where did they go?I was born on a farmA midwestern farmI rode on the tractor with my dadAnd though we never had muchIt was always enoughAnd we made the best of what we hadThen came four years of droughtAnd the bottom dropped outMy father was broken like the restI can still see his handsSigning over his landsAnd the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessedCertain things that you depend uponThere are places I can goI sift the ashes of AmericaFor someplace I used to(someplace I used to)Someplace I used to(someplace I used to)Someplace I used to knowThere was a timeA simpler timeWhen a man could be sure of where he stoodI used to work at the yardWorking honest and hardThe hours were long but the pay was ohso goodCertain things that you depend uponI used to think were guaranteedLike the right of every man to workAnd feed his familyAnd feed his familyAnd the faces of AmericaSeem so distant and estrangedHave their eyes become too blind to seeHow much their hearts have changed?(how much their hearts)How much their hearts have changed?(how much their hearts)How much their hearts have changed?
