San Joaquin Lyrics & Tabs by Computer Vs. Banjo
San Joaquin
guitar chords lyrics
Ground cover is gone
Smoke fills the sky
A town turned caravan
With dust-colored eyes
We fight elevation
Struggle through the night
Fortunes to borrow
Clearer skies to see
Aimlessly drifting
Leaders still believe
I hear the valley
Isn't all it's supposed to be
I could use a life
Better than my own
I will surely die
I could use a life
Better than my own
I will surely die
Never to find a home
If you don't get me out of San Joaquin
Sisters and brothers
Gypsies and strays
Call Franklin president
But he doesn't know our names
If there is a God
Then we are all the same
Sleeping under stars
Drifting into dreams
Rain like a river
Washes my body clean
Steals away my clothes
And the dirt of San Joaquin
I could live a life
Better than my own
I will surely die
Never to find a home
If you don't get me out of San Joaquin
Get me out of San Joaquin
Get me out of San Joaquin
Get me out of San Joaquin
Get me out of San Joaquin
