Days Of America

(album: Spirit Dancer - 2002)

Hey

The furnace burns in Steel Town
Big business came and tried to shut 'em down
But workers got together, and they bought that mill
They're making steel in Pittsburgh still

The family farm down in Indiana
The bank's foreclosing just because they can
And the farmer can't do nothing 'bout another drought
So John and Neil and Willie came and helped 'em out

'Cause these are the days of America
Brother to brother, hand in hand
Well, these are the days of America
Walking together through the promised land

The wheels in Detroit keep on turning
A blue collar lesson there for the learning
The throttle drives you anywhere, no matter how far
Just never give up on who you are

'Cause these are the days of America
Brother to brother, hand in hand
Well, these are the days of America
Walking together through the promised land


Right down the middle of America
Where her heart beats strong and true
Yeah, look up, just open your eyes
The flag still waves, and the eagle still flies

'Cause these are the days of America
Brother to brother, hand in hand
Well, these are the days of America
Walking together through the promised land

These are the days
These are the days of America
These are the days
These are the days of America
