just a lil' ole song writer
Just a lil' ole songwriter trying to get his . Everything you hear on this page was written, performed and produced by me. All of these songs were recorded in the early-to-mid 90's on some old, broken-down equipment. There are two exceptions. The song 'In America' was performed by my old band Galen Paris and the Critical Mass as a demo. And the song 'Taste of You' was recorded live with the same band.

Lyrics
All the people try to say what's good for me Try to tell me that the land is free In America, beacon of the free What I see is not how it's ment to be Bobby harvested amber waves of grain At least until the bank took the land away Now he can't afford to put bread on the table When he used to do it for a thousand other people In America Beacon of the Free In America I'm a refugee In America Land of Liberty My America Give it back to me Wrong side of the tracks, tried to get away Hard to make a move with one foot in the grave A tin roof castle and seven hungry children Laid off from my job, starve another day In America Beacon of the Free In America I'm a refugee In America Land of Liberty My America Give it back to me They say that money talks, but I ain't hearing a damn thing If good things come to those who wait, I'm out of time Sworn to protect and serve, just ain't doing a damn thing Some people fill the world with hate, Have they lost their minds? In America Beacon of the Free In America I'm a refugee In America Land of Liberty My America Give it back to me In America In America In America My America Havin' picnics on the 4th of July Grandma's servin' up her hot apple pie Son and Father fishin' down by the stream Come on everybody live the American Dream In America In America In America My America In America In America In America My America
