Stars Across this Country |
||
1 | I walked back | |
2 | Along the railroad tracks | |
3 | From the midnight shift I'd been working | |
4 | I looked around | |
5 | At the sleeping town | |
6 | Like the river that slips away | |
7 | Autumn breeze | |
8 | In the moonlit trees | |
9 | And the highway softly humming | |
10 | I heard freedom ring | |
11 |
Like stars across this country |
|
12 | I've seen the signs | |
13 | In the march of time | |
14 | Across miles of plains and mountains | |
15 | I've held desert sand | |
16 | In my empty hands | |
17 | And I've seen heroes rise and fall and rise again | |
18 | And I saw | |
19 | Dawn come up | |
20 | Like flames across the meadow | |
21 | I heard freedom ring | |
22 |
Like stars across this country |
|
23 | Shining on down | |
24 | Shining down on me | |
25 | Shining on down | |
26 | Shining down on me | |
27 | Sometimes are good | |
28 | Sometimes are bad | |
29 | Sometimes I think I'm dreaming | |
30 | But I hear freedom ring | |
31 | Like stars across this country | |
32 |
And it's my home |
|
33 | Annie came down | |
34 | And put the coffee on | |
35 | And I stood outside the window staring | |
36 | The kids were home | |
37 | My folks had come around | |
38 | And my great-aunt was out from Ohio | |
39 | And I saw time suspended | |
40 | In the echo | |
41 | Of their laughter | |
42 | I heard freedom ring | |
43 |
Like stars across this country |
|
44 | Shining on down | |
45 | Shining down on me | |
46 | Shining on down | |
47 | Shining down on me | |
48 | Sometimes are good | |
49 | Sometimes are bad | |
50 | Sometimes I think I'm dreaming | |
51 | But I hear freedom ring | |
52 | Like stars across this country | |
53 |
And it's my home |
|
