When The River Didn't Flow

Dirty Trucks

Great Gatsby Days

 

Lyrics:

Great Gatsby Days
Those were Great Gatsby Days
Brother did you wanna run
They’re everywhere ol’ Wall Street pays
America’s chosen son’s
They got everything that you could want
They’re affluent and bon vivant
They’ll always have a future to haunt
As we roll down the highway again

 And those Great Gatsby days
Are houses now foreclosed
Somebody made a clean getaway
From the dirty deals proposed
The greed of men serve the needs of few
Who are out there starving, homeless too
Looking for work ‘neath skies of blue
As we roll on down the highway again

Darling there’s a green light
Shining in the dark night
A beacon burning so bright
In everybody’s dreams
Still we’re lost inside the harbor
Of who we are and once were
Could you spare a dime sir?

For those Great Gatsby days
Will be with us as the sun goes down
They’ll never die they will always
Find a way to come back around
And when they do what will become
Of the past where we started from
The new frontier has just begun
As we roll on down the highway again

Poor Man's Out
