bruce springsteen - american land (live in dublin) lyrics
one, two, one two three
whoa!
what is this land 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 the women wear silk and satin to their knees
children dear, the sweets, i hear, are growing on the trees
gold comes rushing out the rivers straight into your hands
if you make your 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’ll make his home in the american land
whoa!
i docked at ellis island in the city of light and spire
wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and fire
made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two hands
we made our 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 posalskis, the smiths, zerillis too
the blacks, the irish, italians, the germans and the jews
come across the water a thousand miles from home
with nothing in their bellies but the fire down below
they died building the railroads, worked to bones and skin
died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the wind
died to get here a hundred years ago, they’re dying now
the hands that built the country we’re always 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’ll make his home in the american land
who’ll make his home in the american land
who’ll make his home in the american land
come on!
whoa!
(hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo hoo-hoo)
(hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo hoo-hoo)
(hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoooo hoooo)
