Testo Desperation Road - Michael Martin Murphey
Testo della canzone Desperation Road (Michael Martin Murphey), tratta dall'album Play - Country
Driving west out on I-40
On my way to taste some California wine
A broke down family flagged me down
Near the Arizona line
Their whole world was in a pickup
I guess it couldn't pull the load
It was just our vacation
But to them it was desperation road
The lines on their faces
Told the story of the places that they'd been
Now their home is a highway
That never seems to end
Empty dreams and empty pockets
Sure can make a heavy load
To some of us it's just a highway
But to others it's desperation road
Their eyes had a sadness
From another place and time
A silent reminder
That the grapes of wrath still make bitter wine
And it sure makes you wonder
About all the seeds our country sowed
Which of us will be the next
To travel down desperation road?
I helped them start their pickup
And watched them as they faded out of sight
Guess the last thing I remember
Is the faces of the children in my lights
That night in a motel room
I had a dream that made my blood run cold
I saw my own wife and family
Standing down on desperation road
And their eyes had a sadness
From another place and time
A silent reminder
That the grapes of wrath still make bitter wine
And it sure makes you wonder
About all the seeds our country sowed
Which of us will be the next
To travel down desperation road?
Could be your own wife and family
Standing down on desperation road
