Carpenter Mary-Chapin - Stones In The Road - Sözleri

When we were young, we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives


The classroom rang with children's voices under teacher's watchful eye


We learned about the world around us at our desks and at dinnertime


Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our plates with guilty minds


And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust


And then a voice called to us to make our way back home


 When I was ten, my father held me on his shoulders above the crowd


To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly through our town


His widow kneeled with all their children at the sacred burial ground


And the TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down


And the stones in the road flew out beneath our bicycle tires


Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced each other home


And now we drink our coffee on the run, we climb that ladder rung by rung


We are the daughters and the sons, and here's the line that's missing


The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street


We give a dollar when we pass, and hope our eyes don't meet


We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner suite


We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the receipt


And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels


Another day, another deal, before we get back home


And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came


A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I don't know
