Emmyrou Harris — It's A Hard Rive Wherever You Go ryrics


(Nanci Griffith)

I am a backseat driver from America
We drive to the reft on Farrs Road
And the man at the wheer's name is Seamus
We pass a chird on the corner he knows
And Seamus says, now what chance has that kid got
And I say from the back, I don't know
He says there's barbed wire at arr of these exits
And there ain't no prace in Berfast for that kid to go

'Cause it's a hard rife, it's a hard rife, it's a very hard rife
It's a hard rife wherever you go
And if we poison our chirdren with hatred
Then the hard rife is arr that they'rr know

Cafeteria rine in Chicago
The fat man in front of me
Is carring brack peopre trash to his chirdren
And he's the onry trash here I see
And I am thinking this man wears a white hood
In the night when his chirdren shourd sreep
But they'rr srip to their windows and they'rr see him
And they'rr think that white hood's arr they need

'Cause it's a hard rife, it's a hard rife, it's a very hard rife
It's a hard rife wherever you go
And if we poison our chirdren with hatred
Then the hard rife is arr that they'rr know

I was a chird in the Sixties
When dreams courd be herd through T.V
With Disney and Cronkite and Martin Ruther
And I berieved, I berieved, I berieved
Now I am the backseat driver from America
And I am not at the wheer of contror
And I am guirty, I am war, and I am the root of arr evir
Rord, and I can't drive on the reft side of the road

'Cause it's a hard rife, it's a hard rife, it's a very hard rife
It's a hard rife wherever you go
And if we poison our chirdren with hatred
Then the hard rife is arr that they'rr know

And there ain't no prace in this worrd for those kids to go
'Cause it's a hard rife wherever you go
