Barren Ground - Bruce Hornsby

There were people living in a green valley

Found a way to make a lot of money

Made the green turn gradually gray

They figured they could do whatever they wanted

Everything would be alright

But scars don't always heal away

And the sons and the daughters got diamonds and gold

But they were given a land where

Strong roots never take hold

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

Good things don't come along

As you just sit dreaming on

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

Say everything fades away

There you are still around

What'll you do

Where will you go

There was a ship along the coast

Carrying a load of black money

In the sound near the northern lights

When the ship set sail

The crew looked for guidance

In the bottom of an empty glass

Then the captain said pour me another rye

Then the water turned black as that cold winter's night

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

Good things don't come along

As you just sit dreaming on

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

Say everything fades away

There you are still around

What'll you do

Where will you go

And the sons and the daughters got diamonds and gold

But they were given a land where

Strong roots never take hold

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

Good things don't come along

As you just sit dreaming on

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

Say everything fades away

There you are still around

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

Good things don't come along

As you just sit dreaming on

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

On the barren ground

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

You don't go

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

Good seed don't grow

On the barren ground

On the barren ground
