t. davis water towers şarkı sözleri
My home town's is blue
And white and bears its name
And it keep our spigot running true
It's painted bold, so you can bet
The out-of-towners won't forget
Until they see the next one, and they do
And life is different
In the land of water towers
Autumn colors burn away
The cool of summer showers
The air is fresh and clean
And doesn't have that city sour
When you're livin' in the land
of water towers
Your yellow flag says
Boys in red won't tread on you
But I don't think you heard the news
Your face has a lighter hue
And doesn't match the caller's clue
And the boys who tread these days
Are dressed in blue
And life gets harder
In the land of water towers
When some believe the land
Is only theirs when it is ours
We stole it once, and kept it twice
We bathed it in a crimson shower
The land we love
The land of water towers
I love a lady
But we don't all love the same
And we're born to love the ones we do
There's picket signs and calls for time
For murderers in clinic lines
They only blame the one
And it took two
'Cause time moves slowly
In the land of water towers
Seconds pass like minutes
And the minutes pass like hours
We hate the sin and not the sinner
Unless that sin is ours
When we're livin' in the land
Of water towers
And all the kids are not alright
With backpacks in a firefight
And heroes who can't seem to find the way
We ban the books to serve the cause
To give that first amendment pause
Unless they say the things that we would say
Bless your heart is not a blessing
And if you don't like grandma's dressing
Everyone just smiles and chokes it down
'Cause smiles are nice and truth is tricky
Jesus might've been a hippie
But we don't like that
In our little water-tower town
'Cause life is different
In the land of water towers
Autumn colors burn away
The cool of summer showers
The air is fresh and clean
And doesn't have that city sour
When you're livin' in the land
of water towers
When you're livin' in the land
of water towers
