Kevin Costner And Modern West Lyrics
5 Minutes From America Lyrics
I GOT 2 LITTLE KIDS IN A BROKE DOWN CAR
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN VIEW OF THE TEXACO STAR
I SPENT ALL MY MONEY ON WATER AND FOOD
GOT WILLIE ON THE RADIO SINGING THOSE COUNTRY BLUES
WELL I HAD A GOOD JOB BACK IN NEW ORLEANS
ONCE I WAS A CITIZEN NOW I�M A REFUGEE
CAN�T GO BACK I CAN�T MOVE AHEAD
TRIED TO MAKE A CALL BUT I CAN�T �CAUSE MY GOD DAMNED CELL PHONE�S DEAD
I�M JUST 5 MINUTES FROM AMERICA
I SEE IT VERY CLEAR
I�M JUST 5 MINUTES FROM AMERICA
BUT YOU CAN�T GET THERE FROM HERE
TRIED TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONES� WHEREVER THEY ARE
HAD SOME REAL NICE NEIGHBORS HAD ME A BIG BACK YARD
NOW I�M WATCHING THE WORLD PASS ME BY LIKE I�M AN IMMIGRANT ON THE MOVE
SAW THE ROOF OF MY HOUSE ON THE TV SITTING IN MY MOTEL ROOM
BACK DOWN THE ROAD A POLICEMAN SMILED THEN HE OFFERED HIS HAND
HE SAID WELCOME STRANGER BUT YOU REALLY CAN�T STAY HERE MAN
ON UP AHEAD THERE�S SOME OPPORTUNITIES YOU CAN FIND�EM EVERYWHERE
MAYBE GO TO HOUSTON THERE�S A LOT OF YOU THERE
WILLIE SANG BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN
DOWN IN LUCHENBACH TEXAS THEY AINT FEELING NO PAIN
BUT IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD THE WAVES STILL POUND
WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE THE MUSIC STOPPED
AND THE WORLD WAS WATCHING AS HELL CAME DOWN
I WISH I WAS BACK HOME
