Faces of America - Dan Fogelberg[00:00:00]
Written by:D. Fogelberg[00:00:01]
There was a time a simpler time[00:00:25]
When a man could be sure of where he stood[00:00:31]
I used to work at the yard working honest and hard[00:00:37]
The hours were long but the pay was oh so good[00:00:43]
I had a family and friends oh so many friends[00:00:49]
We'd drive to the lake on holidays[00:00:56]
Back then it wasn't so dear for a sandwich or beer[00:01:02]
At night I still dream I can see their faces[00:01:08]
Certain things that you depend upon[00:01:15]
There are places that you know[00:01:21]
And the faces of America[00:01:27]
Oh where do they go where did they go[00:01:30]
I was born on a farm a mid western farm[00:01:48]
I rode on the tractor with my dad[00:01:54]
And though we never had much it was always enough[00:02:00]
And we made the best with what we had[00:02:06]
But then came four years of drought and the bottom dropped out[00:02:12]
My father was broken like the rest[00:02:19]
And I can still see his hands signing over his lands[00:02:25]
And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed[00:02:31]
Certain things that you depend upon[00:02:38]
There are places I can go I sift the ashes of America[00:02:44]
For someplace I used to know[00:02:53]
Someplace I used to know[00:02:55]
Someplace I used to know[00:02:56]
Someplace I used to know[00:02:58]
Someplace I used to know[00:02:59]
There was a time a simpler time[00:03:26]
When a man could be sure of where he stood[00:03:32]
I used to work at the yard working honest and hard[00:03:38]
The hours were long but the pay was oh so good[00:03:45]
Certain things that you depend upon I used to think were guaranteed[00:03:51]
Like the right of every man to work and feed his family[00:04:03]
And feed his family[00:04:10]
And the faces of America seem so distant and estranged[00:04:13]
Have their eyes become too blind to see[00:04:25]
How much their hearts have changed[00:04:28]
How much their hearts have changed[00:04:30]
How much their hearts have changed[00:04:32]
How much their hearts have changed[00:04:33]
How much their hearts have changed[00:04:34]
