歌曲名 Stones In The Road (Live)

歌手名 Joan Baez+Mary Chapin Carpenter

作曲：Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 we played like marbles in the dust

Until a voice called for 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 her children at the sacred burial ground

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

Stones in the road flew out from our bicycle tires

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

Stones in the road

And now we drink our coffee on the run

And 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 a** we make you hold

We doctor the receipt

Stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came

The other day the other day befor we get back home

Stones in the road we played like marbles in the dust

A thousand points of light or sham

Baby

I don't know

Stones

Stones

in the road

in the road
