Sam Roberts şarkı sözleri
He was born in a small townAnd he was give every reason to stayHallelujah, Mississippi, postcard living no sign of decayTill Vietnam moved next door, then Hallelujah was off to warIn the dream he couldn't finish the deedHe didn't smoke any weed so why leave?Going where I can't be foundAnd I won't be coming 'roundHis father Tom said you better sign onYou'd better take up your gun and fightI got nothing against them Viet CongWhat did they do so wrong and why am I right?He's on his way to Thunder BayCrossed the border late at nightAnd it was high stakes until he saw the Great LakesAnd he felt the cold wind biteGoing where I can't be foundAnd I won't be coming 'roundNo, I'm an American on the Canadian ShieldAnd I'm putting down roots in your frozen fieldsIt gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in townAnd you're understoodMissing his home, he would wake up in a cold sweatAnd pick up the phone and hope that Tom found a way to forgetHe's been teaching at the high school, learning the gameIn Thunder Bay we're all the sameHe's one of us, he has our trustBut there's no going back once the line is crossedI'm an American on the Canadian ShieldAnd I'm putting down roots in your frozen fieldsIt gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in townAnd you're understoodYou can't ask what you're asking me to doAnd I hope you understand when I refuseI'm going North with my point of viewAnd I'm never gonna think the same as youAnd I'm where I can't be foundAnd I won't be coming 'roundNo, I'm an American on the Canadian ShieldAnd I'm putting down roots in your frozen fieldsIt gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in townAnd you're understood
