JOHN MELLENCAMP - Troubled Land lyrics

rate me

Well there's a pain in my side<br />

But I keep traveling on<br />

Bring peace to this troubled land<br />

It's dark out here<br />

I can't read those signs<br />

Bring peace to the troubled land<br />

Hurricane on the horizon<br />

Judgment getting closer all the time<br />

I can't find tomorrow<br />

Bring peace to this troubled land<br />

<br />

Well there's two men a walking<br />

Down the same dirty road<br />

Bring peace to this troubled land<br />

They stand shoulder to shoulder<br />

Carrying the same heavy load<br />

Bring peace to this troubled land<br />

One man's eyes are full of sorrow<br />

The other man's belly full of unbearable pain<br />

They keep getting closer<br />

Bring peace to this troubled land<br />

<br />

I've got many screaming children<br />

Ten million rows to hoe<br />

Bring peace to this troubled land<br />

Deader than an hammer<br />

But I can't let go<br />

Bring peace to this troubled land<br />

The eyes of heaven are upon you<br />

But so is the soul from down below<br />

They'll cut off your fingers<br />

To bring peace to this troubled land<br />

<br />

Well you can stand up and holler<br />

You can lay down and die<br />

Bring peace to this troubled land<br />

We can turn up our collars<br />

And never even try<br />

To bring peace to this troubled land<br />

Beware of those who want to harm you<br />

And drag you down to a lower game<br />

Just know the truth is coming<br />

To bring peace to this troubled land<br />

<br />

I got a pain in my side<br />

But I keep traveling on</
