bend your ear to me lupita keep your feet swift and light we will ride the rails of freedom through these federales nights let it ride slip away from all we know just to slip between the cracks and i m terrified to lose you cause i d never make it back oh my hands are worn and weathered but my heart is full of truth will you see me as a brother in the red the white the bruised once we crossed the southern waters and unto the promised land i worked hard to build a dream land but i couldn t make it stand once we had what we were seeking once i saw the pride in you now our money s in a mattress but we gotta see it through then i changed the way i saw things it was far from shining true when the fortune that favors others wasn t made to fortune you oh i ve lost my ways of dreaming you see my visions have all been used i can t know my own tomorrow in the red the white the bruised how about you  keep moving on
