lyrics

I have been to see america
and she has shown me things that were just for me to see
one river takes me this way another that
i'm a louisianna purchase and a dry dakota grain
once was a man made my heart move fast
id wait for him like a hillside in a darkening plain
sun and moon are facing off
and where i stand continents divide
and run a lip along the severing
finally the moon set and the sun rose
and the boxcars reflected in the sky on the lake
1st verse
