Her face is cracked from smilin'
All the tears that she's been hidin'
And she wonders pretty soon
Everybody's gonna know
And her voice is sore from shoutin'
Cheerin' winners who are losin'
And she wonders if their days are few
An' soon they'll have to go
My, my, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
We're gonna sing an' dance in celebration
A-we're in the promised land
She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in
She wonders what it's all about
When they break down the door
Her name is Brown or White or Black
You know her very well
Ya hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell
My, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
An' we're gonna dance an' sing in celebration
A-we're in the promised land
(Guitar Solo)
There's a train that leaves the station
Headin' for your destination
But the price ya pay to nowhere
Has increased a dollar more
And if ya walk you're gonna get there
Although it takes a little longer
An' when ya see it in the distance
You will wring your hands an' moan
Ohh yeah a-you will moan
A-you will moan
A-you'll kneel an' moan
Ohhh yeah, it's alright
