The Pogues - USA lyrics
When I was young I watched the cars When I was older I drank in bars When I was young I chewed the leaves When I was older I drank with thieves I found a love She gave me dreams She left me drunk In New Orleans So cold and lonely So all alone I wished my heart Was made of stone I took the cold bright needle I used it as a sword My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the Lord I burned across the delta I swam across the ford My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the Lord When I was a young man Standing on this road My empty belly An aching hole An old man said to me "Kid don't you know That it's the same Wherever you go" I gambled in two graveyards I won against the odds With the smiling saints And the silent saviours With the maggots and the gods I cursed the things they showed me I could never see again And the howling of the wind at night I wrote upon the rain I found the thing For which I prayed And came back home To the USA With a heart of stone And now I know That it's the same Wherever you go . |
