My Name Is Earl movie - One Time One Night lyrics
rate meA wise man was telling stories to me<br>
About the places he had been to<br>
And the things that he had seen<br>
<br>
A quiet voice is singing something to me<br>
An age old song about the home of the brave<br>
In this land here of the free<br>
One time one night in America<br>
<br>
A lady dressed in white with the man she loved<br>
Standing along the side of their pickup truck<br>
A shot rang out in the night<br>
Just when everything seemed right<br>
Another headline written down in America<br>
<br>
The guy that lived next door in #305<br>
Took the kids to the park and disappeared<br>
About half past nine<br>
Who will ever know<br>
How much she loved them so<br>
That dark night alone in America<br>
<br>
A quiet voice is singing something to me<br>
An age old song about the home of the brave<br>
In this land here of the free<br>
One time one night in America<br>
<br>
Four small boys playing ball in a parking lot<br>
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop<br>
A car skidded into the rain<br>
Making the last little one a saint<br>
One more light goes out in America<br>
<br>
A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well<br>
She hopes for a heaven while for her<br>
There's just this hell<br>
She gave away her life<br>
To become somebody's wife<br>
Another wish unanswered in America<br>
<br>
People having so much faith<br>
Die too soon while all the rest come late<br>
We write a song that no one sings<br>
On a cold black stone<br>
Where a lasting peace will finally bring<br>
<br>
The sunlight plays upon my windowpane<br>
I wake up to a world that's still the same<br>
My father said to be strong<br>
And that a good man could never do wrong<br>
In a dream I had last night in America<br>
<br>
A wise man was telling storie to me<br>
About the places he had been to<br>
And the things that he had seen<br>
<br>
A quiet voice is singing something to me<br>
An age old song about the home of the brave<br>
In this land here of the free<br>
One time one night in America<br>
<br>
