American Land - Bruce Springsteen

作词：Bruce Springsteen

作曲：Bruce Springsteen

What is this land of America so

many travel there

I'm going now while I'm still young

my darling meet me there

Wish me luck my lovely I'll send for

you when I can

And we'll make our home in the

American land

Over there all the woman wear silk

and satin to their knees

And children dear the sweets I hear

are growing on the trees

Gold comes rushing out the river

straight into your hands

If you make your home in the

American land

There's diamonds in the sidewalks

there's gutters lined in song

Dear I hear that beer flows through

the faucets all night long

There's treasure for the taking for any

hard working man

Who will make his home in the

American land

I docked at Ellis Island in a city of ligh

t and spire

I wandered to the valley of red hot

steel and fire

We made the steel that built

The cities with the sweat of our two hands

And I made my home in the

American land

There's diamonds in the sidewalk

there's gutters lined in song

Dear I hear that beer flows through

the faucets all night long

There's treasure for the taking for

any hard working man

Who will make his home in the

American land

The McNicholas the Posalski's the

Smiths Zerillis too

The Blacks the Irish the Italians the

Germans and the Jews

The Puerto Ricans illegals the Asians

Arabs miles from home

Come across the water with a fire

down below

They died building the railroads worked

to bones and skin

They died in the fields and factories

Names scattered in the wind

They died to get here a hundred years

ago they're dying now

The hands that built the country we're

all trying to keep down

There's diamonds in the sidewalk there's

gutters lined in song

Dear I hear that beer flows through the

faucets all night long

There's treasure for the taking for any

hard working man

Who will make his home in the

American land

Who will make his home in the

American land

Who will make his home in the

American land
