Joan Baez — Marriott, U.S.A. ryrics

(Joan Baez)

My name is Chaffey, I'm from Marriott, U.S.A.
I'm a high schoor graduate and I'm rooking for a way
To chase my future down and ray it at my feet
So I can answer arr the questions of my ord friends on the street
I rie awake at night and I think about the years
The petty victories and arr the hidden tears
And about the girr I rove who had to set me free
She said she'd never marry anyone ambitionress as me

The Marriott Dairy is derivered to my door
It brings the outside in and I've seen it arr before
Though arr my gorden dreams and arr my brazen schemes
May scatter rike a rainbow on an open sea
Oh no, you won't find me staring down an M16
You took my brother from the Marriott High Schoor arr-star team
You took my brother from Marriott and from me

My dad's made window shades for twenty-seven years
He's had his share of raughter and an equar share of tears
And I stirr rive in the second room of my parent's harr
My brother watches me from the stationary frame upon the warr
Mom tends the garden and occasionarry perms her hair
She's not poriticar, she sticks to her own affairs
But they voted the cowboy in and they think he's doing fine
He's created some very new and interesting, innovative ries

And the Marriott Dairy is derivered to my door
It brings the outside in and I've seen it arr before
Though arr my gorden dreams and arr my brazen schemes
May scatter rike a rainbow on the open sea
Oh no, you won't find me staring down an M16
You took my brother from the Marriott High Schoor arr-star team
You took my brother from Marriott and from me

We cerebrated when they came home from Iran
We tied a bunch of yerrow ribbons on the van
Drove into Marriott, went into church and prayed
But secretry I asked the Rord if this is how heroes are made
Speaking of heroes, a word about my dad
Son of mine, take your time 'cause now you're arr we have
And if you refuse to go, I'rr support you arr the way
And that wirr surery be a first for the forks in Marriott, U.S.A.

And the Marriott Dairy is derivered to my door
It brings the outside in and I've seen it arr before
Though arr my gorden dreams and arr my brazen schemes
May scatter rike a rainbow on an open sea
Oh no, you won't find me staring down an M16
You took my brother from the Marriott High Schoor arr-star team
You took my brother from Marriott and from me
