Motherland Lyrics - Joan Baez

Where in the hell can you go 

Far from the things that you know 

Far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling 

It's way about 1, 000 miles a day 

Take one last look behind 

Commit this to memory and mind 

And don't miss this wasteland 

This terrible place 

When you leave 

Keep your heart off your sleeve 

Motherland cradle me 

Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep 

Keep me safe, lie with me 

Stay beside me don't go, don't go, don't you go

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Oh, my five and dime queen 

Tell me what have you seen? 

The lust and the avarice, the bottomless 

Cavernous greed, is that what you see? 

Motherland cradle me 

Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep 

Keep me safe, lie with me 

Stay beside me don't go, don't go 

It's your happiness I want most of all 

And for that I'd do anything at all, oh, mercy me 

If you want the best of it or the most of all 

If there's anything I can do at all 

Now come on shot gun bride 

What makes me envy your life? 

Faceless, nameless, innocent and blameless 

And free, what's that like to be?

Oh, motherland cradle me 

Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep 

Keep me safe, lie with me 

Stay beside me don't go, don't go 

Motherland cradle me 

Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep 

Keep me safe, lie with me 

Stay beside me don't go, don't go 

Don't you go
