American Land (Live at the Point Theatre, Dublin, Ireland - November 2006)

American Land (Live) - Bruce Springsteen (布魯斯·斯普林斯汀)

What is this land of America so many travel there

I'm going now while I'm still young

My darling 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 all the woman wear silk

And satin to their knees

And children dear the sweets

I hear are growing 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 that beer flows through

The faucets all night long

There's treasure for the taking

For any hard working man

Who will 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 cities

With the sweat of our two hands

And I made my home in the American land

There's diamonds in the sidewalk

There's gutters lined in song

Dear I hear that beer flows through

The faucets all night long

There's treasure for the taking

For any hard working man

Who will make his home in the American land

The McNicholas the Posalski's the Smiths Zerillis too

The Blacks the Irish Italians

The Germans and the Jews

The Puerto Ricans illegals the Asians

Arabs miles from home

Come across the water with a fire down below

They died building the railroads

Worked to bones and skin

They died in the fields and factories

Names scattered in the wind

They died to get here a hundred years ago

They're dyin' now

The hands that built the country were always

Trying to keep down

There's diamonds in the sidewalk

There's gutters lined in song

Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets

All night long

There's treasure for the taking

For any hard working man

Who will make his home in the American land

Who will make his home in the American land

Who will make his home in the American land
