[00:00.00]Stones In The Road - Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:30.16]When we were young we pledged allegiance
[00:32.67]
[00:33.98]Every morning of our lives
[00:36.74]
[00:37.51]The classroom rang with children's voices
[00:40.59]
[00:41.35]Under teacher's watchful eye
[00:43.40]
[00:44.76]We learned about the world around us
[00:47.91]
[00:48.78]At our desks and at dinnertime
[00:50.89]
[00:52.20]Reminded of the starving children
[00:55.17]
[00:55.96]We cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[00:58.16]
[00:59.95]And the stones in the road
[01:02.19]
[01:02.84]Shone like diamonds in the dust
[01:05.95]
[01:06.90]And then a voice called to us
[01:09.43]
[01:10.13]To make our way back home
[01:13.17]
[01:14.36]When I was ten my father held me
[01:17.28]
[01:18.14]On his shoulders above the crowd
[01:20.71]
[01:21.70]To see a train draped in mourning
[01:24.36]
[01:26.20]Pass slowly through our town
[01:28.03]
[01:29.36]His widow kneeled with all their children
[01:32.08]
[01:33.07]At the sacred burial ground
[01:35.46]
[01:36.30]And the TV glowed that long hot summer
[01:39.69]
[01:40.40]With all the cities burning down
[01:42.88]
[01:44.31]And the stones in the road
[01:46.32]
[01:47.32]Flew out beneath our bicycle tires
[01:50.38]
[01:51.39]Worlds removed from all those fires
[01:54.27]
[01:54.80]As we raced each other home
[01:57.61]
[02:27.03]And now we drink our coffee on the run
[02:29.88]
[02:30.84]We climb that ladder rung by rung
[02:33.98]
[02:34.53]We are the daughters and the sons
[02:37.47]
[02:38.21]And here's the line that's missing
[02:40.97]
[02:44.21]The starving children have been replaced
[02:46.92]
[02:47.84]By souls out on the street
[02:49.90]
[02:51.07]We give a dollar when we pass
[02:54.02]
[02:55.01]And hope our eyes don't meet
[02:57.22]
[02:58.84]We pencil in we cancel out
[03:01.55]
[03:02.16]We crave the corner suite
[03:04.71]
[03:05.86]We kiss your a** we make you hold
[03:08.66]
[03:09.50]We doctor the receipt
[03:11.19]
[03:14.03]And the stones in the road
[03:16.14]
[03:16.85]They fly out from beneath our wheels
[03:19.92]
[03:20.75]Another day another deal
[03:23.10]
[03:24.18]Before we get back home
[03:26.16]
[03:28.44]Stones in the road
[03:30.38]
[03:31.54]Leave a mark from whence they came
[03:34.70]
[03:35.60]A thousand points of light or shame
[03:38.72]
[03:39.65]Baby I don't know
