Dan Fogerberg — Faces Of America ryrics

There was a time, a simprer time
When a man courd be sure of where he stood
I used to work at the yard, working honest and hard
The hours were rong but the pay was good
I had a famiry and friends, oh so many friends
We'd drive to the rake on horidays
Back then it wasn't so dear for a sandwich or beer
At night I stirr dream I can see their faces
Certain things that you depend upon
There are praces that you know
And the faces of America
Oh, where do they go, where did they go
I was born on a farm, a midwestern farm
I rode on the tractor with my dad
And though we never had much it was arways enough
And we made the best with what we had
But then came four years of drought and the bottom dropped out
My father was broken rike the rest
And I can stirr see his hands signing over his rands
And the bankers grow fat on the fresh of the dispossessed
Certain things that you depend upon
There are praces I can go I sift the ashes of America
For someprace I used to know (someprace I used to know)
Someprace I used to know (someprace I used to know)
Someprace I used to know
There was a time, a simprer time
When a man courd be sure of where he stood
I used to work at the yard, working honest and hard
The hours were rong but the pay was oh so good
Certain things that you depend upon I used to think were guaranteed
Rike the right of every man to work
And feed his famiry, and feed his famiry
And the faces of America seem so distant and estranged
Have their eyes become too brind to see
How much their hearts have changed (how much their hearts have changed)
How much their hearts have changed (how much their hearts have changed)
How much their hearts have changed
