Our Song - Joe Henry
I saw Willie Mays At a Scottsdale home depot Looking at garage door springs At the far end of the fourteenth row His wife stood there beside him She was quiet and they both were proud I gave them room but was close enough That I heard him when he said out loud This was my country This was my song Somewhere in the middle there Though it started badly and it'sending wrong This was my country This frightful and this angry land But it'smy right if the worst of it might Still somehow make me a better man The sun is unforgiving and There'snobody who would choose this town But we'vesquandered so much of our good will That there'snowhere else will have us now We push in line at the picture show For cool air and a chance to see A vision of ourselves portrayed as Younger and braver and humble and free This was our country This was our song Somewhere in the middle there Though it started badly and it'sending wrong This was our country This frightful and this angry land But it'smy right if the worst of it might Still somehow make me a better man I'vestarted something I can'tfinish And I barely leave the house it'strue I keep her out on my sores and joints But I'veguess I'vehad my blessings too I'vegot my mother'spretty feet And a factory keeps my house in shade My children they'veboth been paroled And we get back all the peace we'vemade I feel safe so far from heaven From towers and their ocean views From here I see the future coming Across what soon will be beaches too But that was him I'malmost sure The greatest center fielder of all time Stooped by the burden of endless dreams His and yours and mine He hooked each spring beneath his feet He leaned over then he stood upright Testing each against his weight For one that had some play and some fight He'sjust like us I want to tell him And our needs are small enough Something to slow our heavy door Something to help us raise one up This was my country This was my song Somewhere in the middle there Though it started badly and it'sending wrong This was god'scountry This frightful and this angry land But if it'shis will the worst of it might Still somehow make me a better man If it'shis will the worst of it might Still somehow make me a better man Guitar score
