Great Divide Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

You're saying I've got, got a lot, a lot of nerve 

To say that we could, we could be friends 

You're thinking I'm just another one telling lies 

You don't want to be fooled, fooled again 

And you always go your way 

And I always go mine 

Maybe one day we'll come together 

Across the great divide 

I heard somebody calling you a bad name 

But I was speechless, didn't say anything to him 

Next time I swear, it'll be different 

I promise not to be silent again 

And you always go your way 

And I always go mine 

Maybe one day we'll come together 

Across the great divide 

And I always cross to the other side 

But I go back every time 

Maybe one day we'll come together 

Across the great divide 

I saw a bombed aisle, heard a gunshot ring 

Saw two matchsticks burn, felt the bedsheets sting 

Ugly words on a wall, and a robe in flames 

Then I saw a little boy smile, when the clouds did move away 

And you always go your way 

And I always go mine 

Maybe one day we'll come together 

Across the great divide
