lirik lagu john hiatt – native son
you finally found the mainstream
in the middle of your life
you tapped into a vein
of endless gold chains
now you’re locked up tight
tearing down the middle of it
splitting it right in half
bobbing up and down the waves
like a runaway slave
on a huck finn raft
chorus:
take your wife
take your family
take your gun
running through the woods
and the burned out neighborhoods
looking for someone
a member of your tribe
a place you can hide
’til the war has begun
’cause in the fields before the flood
you’ll be spilling blood
like a native son
where you gonna run to
there ain’t no underground
if only you could fly
you’d cut across the sky
like a rifle round
oh, who are your people
and where is your homeland
’cause they’re dying side by side
at the river of pride
where we tried to take a stand
chorus twice
in the fields before the flood
you’ll be spilling blood
like a native son
