Bruce Hornsby - Barren Ground
There were people living in a green valley
Found a way to make a lot of money
Made the green turn gradually gray
They figured they could do whatever they wanted
Everything would be alright
But scars dont always heal away
And the sons and the daughters got diamonds and gold
But they were given a land where
Strong roots never take hold
Good seed dont grow
On the barren ground
Good things dont come along
As you just sit dreaming on
Good seed dont grow
On the barren ground
Say everything fades away
There you are still around
Whatll you do where will you go
Ther was a ship along the coast
Carrying a load of black money
In the sound near the northern lights
When the ship set sail
The crew looked for guidance
In the bottom of an empty glass
Then the captain said pour me another rye
Then the water turned black as that cold winters night
Good seed dont grow
On the barren ground
Good things dont come along
As you just sit dreaming on
Good seed dont grow
On the barren ground
Say everything fades away
There you are still around
Whatll you do where will you go
