Rez Band - Lincoln's Train lyrics

rate me

Passin' through these ruins

Mr Lincoln's train goin' by

Spilling smoke into these bloody fields

All the people stood and cried

Our tears are the same color

We can all hold hands and mourn

But me, I'm still asking myself

Why I'm not any freer than I was before

Mr Lincoln are you free now?

Was it worth what it finally cost?

If I had somethin to believe in

I could bear this endless cross

I got no home, they sold my family

I got no job, ain't got no vote

Them books they're all mysteries to me

Can't read or write, I got no hope

The train it just keeps rollin'

Cold as steel and dark as night

It don't give me no answers, no

No, it don't pay me no mind

And the scenery just keeps changin'

But these folks, they just stay the same

Same old fearful eyes a starin'

Askin' me to take the blame

For their shame, for their shame
