lirik lagu martyn joseph - last night i heard america
[verse 1]
last night i heard america
a country of before
i traced its three chord atlas
from long beach to shenandoah
sang galveston and phoenix
and the lineman’s wichita
turned the pages of america
the journal of before
[verse 2]
last night i saw the highway strewn
with rusted chevrolets
route 66 has lost its kicks
now it seems it’s lost its way
please tell me that you do still know
the way to san jose
with the fireflies disappearing
over cape cod bay
[verse 3]
now you don’t board paul simon’s
pittsburgh greyhound anymore
or take the tom waits springsteen ride
to the jersey shore
or walk with sweet gram parsons
down the streets of baltimore
last night i lost america
the country of before
[verse 4]
the road trips i once took with you
yosemite to maine
the romance of the truck stop
the going so fast freight train
and the neon stark motel
on the mississippi plain
america, your boundless
and astonishing terrain
[harmonica solo]
[verse 5]
last night i mourned america
how i thought it used to be
before that day manhattan
became a cemetery
has your soul been lost in transit
devoid of clarity?
last night i mourned america
and how it’s come to be
[verse 6]
come back home, america
withstand that bird of prey
which seethes in mocking opulence
inciting disarray
come back now to each other
a new independence day
come back home, america
before everything gives way
[outro]
come back home, america
before everything gives way
