Our Song - Joe Henry[00:00:01]

I saw Willie Mays[00:00:21]

At a Scottsdale home depot[00:00:24]

Looking at garage door springs[00:00:29]

At the far end of the fourteenth row[00:00:33]

His wife stood there beside him[00:00:39]

She was quiet and they both were proud[00:00:43]

I gave them room but was close enough[00:00:47]

That I heard him when he said out loud[00:00:51]

This was my country[00:00:59]

This was my song[00:01:03]

Somewhere in the middle there[00:01:06]

Though it started badly and it's ending wrong[00:01:09]

This was my country[00:01:17]

This frightful and this angry land[00:01:20]

But it's my right if the worst of it might[00:01:25]

Still somehow make me a better man[00:01:28]

The sun is unforgiving and[00:01:44]

There's nobody who would choose this town[00:01:47]

But we've squandered so much of our good will[00:01:52]

That there's nowhere else will have us now[00:01:56]

We push in line at the picture show[00:02:03]

For cool air and a chance to see[00:02:07]

A vision of ourselves portrayed as[00:02:11]

Younger and braver and humble and free[00:02:15]

This was our country[00:02:23]

This was our song[00:02:27]

Somewhere in the middle there[00:02:30]

Though it started badly and it's ending wrong[00:02:33]

This was our country[00:02:41]

This frightful and this angry land[00:02:44]

But it's my right if the worst of it might[00:02:48]

Still somehow make me a better man[00:02:52]

I've started something I can't finish[00:03:17]

And I barely leave the house it's true[00:03:20]

I keep her out on my sores and joints[00:03:25]

But I've guess I've had my blessings too[00:03:29]

I've got my mother's pretty feet[00:03:35]

And a factory keeps my house in shade[00:03:38]

My children they've both been paroled[00:03:44]

And we get back all the peace we've made[00:03:47]

I feel safe so far from heaven[00:03:54]

From towers and their ocean views[00:03:57]

From here I see the future coming[00:04:02]

Across what soon will be beaches too[00:04:05]

But that was him I'm almost sure[00:04:12]

The greatest center fielder of all time[00:04:16]

Stooped by the burden of endless dreams[00:04:20]

His and yours and mine[00:04:25]

He hooked each spring beneath his feet[00:04:30]

He leaned over then he stood upright[00:04:34]

Testing each against his weight[00:04:39]

For one that had some play and some fight[00:04:43]

He's just like us I want to tell him[00:04:49]

And our needs are small enough[00:04:53]

Something to slow our heavy door[00:04:57]

Something to help us raise one up[00:05:01]

This was my country[00:05:08]

This was my song[00:05:13]

Somewhere in the middle there[00:05:16]

Though it started badly and it's ending wrong[00:05:19]

This was god's country[00:05:27]

This frightful and this angry land[00:05:30]

But if it's his will the worst of it might[00:05:34]

Still somehow make me a better man[00:05:38]

If it's his will the worst of it might[00:05:52]

Still somehow make me a better man[00:05:56]
