God`s Country — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

state trooper thinks I drive too fast
pulled me over to tell me so
I say out here on the prarie
any speed is too slow
I miss brooklyn I miss my crew
let`s start over
I missed my cue
guess I just forgot
who I was talking to

I should have recognized
that fierce look in his eyes
I`ve seen it in the mirror
so many times
he`s going to put his two cents in
`cause he`s got a gun
but I`m gonna put in three
`cause history owes me one

guess I came out here to see some
stuff for myself
I mean, why leave the telling
up to everybody else
this may be god`s country
but it`s my country too
move over mr. holiness
and let the little people through

thank you for serving and protecting
the likes of me
thank you for the ticket
now can I leave?
you know I have left everywhere
I have ever been
I don`t really recommend it
though not like anyone asked me
maybe you and I
will meet again someday
I`ve been known to
come down this road
call it destiny
and then again
maybe not
I don`t know
