AMERICAN LAND - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

What is this land of America So many travel there
I'm going down while I'm still young, my darlin' meet me there
Wish me luck my lovely, I'll send for you when I can
And we'll make our home in the American land

Over there the women wear silk and satin to their knees
And children near, the sweets I hear are growin' on the trees
Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands
If you make your home in the American land

There's diamonds in the sidewalks, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the takin' for any hard working man
Who'll make his home in the American land

I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spire
I wandered to the valley of red hot steel and fire
We made the steel that built the streets with the sweat of our two hands
I gave my home to the American land

There's diamonds in the sidewalks, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the takin' for any hard working man
Who'll make his home in the American land

The Molowskis, the Smiths and Rileys too
The Blacks, the Irish, the Italians, the Germans and the Jews
Asians, Arabs miles from home
Come across the water with fire down below

They died building the railroads, worked their bones and skin
They died in the fields and factories, they've scattered in the wind
They died to get here a hundred years ago, they're dying now
The hands that built the country we're all trying to keep down

There's diamonds in the sidewalks, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the takin' for any hard working man
Who'll make his home in the American land
Who'll make his home in the American land
Who'll make his home in the American land
