American Land - Bruce Springsteen[00:00:00]

What is this land of America so many travel there[00:00:59]

I'm going now while I'm still young my darling meet me there[00:01:02]

Wish me luck my lovely I'll send for you when I can[00:01:06]

And we'll make our home in the American land[00:01:10]

Over there all the woman wear silk and satin to their knees[00:01:17]

And children dear the sweets I hear are growing on the trees[00:01:21]

Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands[00:01:24]

If you make your home in the American land[00:01:28]

There's diamonds in the sidewalks there's gutters lined in song[00:01:36]

Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long[00:01:39]

There's treasure for the taking for any hard working man[00:01:43]

Who will make his home in the American land[00:01:46]

I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spire[00:02:08]

I wandered to the valley of red hot steel and fire[00:02:12]

We made the steel that built[00:02:16]

The cities with the sweat of our two hands[00:02:17]

And I made my home in the American land[00:02:19]

There's diamonds in the sidewalk there's gutters lined in song[00:02:27]

Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long[00:02:30]

There's treasure for the taking for any hard working man[00:02:34]

Who will make his home in the American land[00:02:37]

The McNicholas the Posalski's the Smiths Zerillis too[00:02:59]

The Blacks the Irish the Italians the Germans and the Jews[00:03:03]

The Puerto Ricans illegals the Asians Arabs miles from home[00:03:06]

Come across the water with a fire down below[00:03:10]

They died building the railroads worked to bones and skin[00:03:14]

They died in the fields and factories[00:03:17]

Names scattered in the wind[00:03:19]

They died to get here a hundred years ago they're dying now[00:03:21]

The hands that built the country we're all trying to keep down[00:03:24]

There's diamonds in the sidewalk there's gutters lined in song[00:03:28]

Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long[00:03:31]

There's treasure for the taking for any hard working man[00:03:35]

Who will make his home in the American land[00:03:39]

Who will make his home in the American land[00:03:43]

Who will make his home in the American land[00:03:46]
