(Nancy Griffith)

I am a backseat driver america
They drive to the on falls road
And the man at the name is Shamus
We pass a the child on a he knows.

And shamus now what chance has that kid got
And I say from the back I know
He says there's barbed at all of these exits
There no place in Belfast for that kid to go.

And a hard life, it's a hard life
It's a very hard life, a hard life wherever you go
And we poison our with hatred
And the life is all that they know.

--- ---

At the in Chicago
A fat man in of me
calling black people trash to his children
He's the trash here I see.

And I'm this man wears a white hood
In the when his children should sleep
But they'll slip to their and see him
They'll think that hood's all they need.

And it's a life, it's a hard life
a very hard life, it's a hard life wherever you go
And we poison our with hatred
And the life is all that they know.

I was a child of the
dreams could be held through tears
With Disney and Cronkite and Martin
And I belived, I believed, I believed.

Now I'm a driver from America
And I'm not at the wheel of
And I am guilty, I am worn, I am the of all evil
And I can't drive on the left of the road.

And it's a hard life, it's a hard
It's a very life, it's a hard life wherever you go
And we poison our children with
And the life is all that they know.

And there ain't no place in this world for these to go
'Cause it's a life wherever you go...

Has anybody here seen my old friend
Can you tell me where gone
He freed a lotta people but it seems the die young
I just around and he's gone.

Has anybody here seen my old Martin
Can you tell me where gone
He freed a people but it seems the good die young
I just around and he's gone.

Has anybody seen my old friend John
Can you me where he's gone
He freed a lotta people but it seems the good die
I just looked and he's gone.

Didn't you love the things stood for
Didn't they try to find some
In you and me and be free
soon it's gonna be one day.

Has anybody here seen my old Bobby
can you tell me where he's
I thought I saw him walking up the hill
With and Martin and John...
