Faces Of America Lyrics - Dan Fogelberg

There was a time, a simpler time 

When a man could be sure of where he stood 

I used to work at the yard, working honest and hard 

The hours were long but the pay was oh so good 

I had a family and friends, oh so many friends 

We'd drive to the lake on holidays 

Back then it wasn't so dear for a sandwich or beer 

At night I still dream I can see their faces 

Certain things that you depend upon 

There are places that you know 

And the faces of America 

Oh, where do they go, where did they go

I was born on a farm, a mid-western farm 

I rode on the tractor with my dad 

And though we never had much it was always enough 

And we made the best with what we had 

But then came four years of drought and the bottom dropped out 

My father was broken like the rest 

And I can still see his hands signing over his lands 

And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed 

Certain things that you depend upon 

There are places I can go I sift the ashes of America 

For someplace I used to know 

Someplace I used to know 

Someplace I used to know 

There was a time, a simpler time 

When a man could be sure of where he stood 

I used to work at the yard, working honest and hard 

The hours were long but the pay was oh so good

Certain things that you depend upon I used to think were guaranteed 

Like the right of every man to work And feed his family 

And the faces of America seem so distant and estranged 

Have their eyes become too blind to see 

How much their hearts have changed 

How much their hearts have changed 

How much their hearts have changed
