THIS TRAIN AIN’T BOUND for GLORY ANYMORE
I heard Woody Guthrie sing a song for everyone,
“This Land Was Made for You and Me”
he sang about a better world that was gonna come
and pastures of plenty always free
But a picture from life’s other side is all I ever see
hard travelin is how it’s gonna be
the gamblin man’s still rich, the working folks are poor
and this train ain’t bound for glory anymore
this train ain’t bound for glory anymore
The do-re-mi don’t trickle down like they said it would
Wall Street keeps on gettin more and more
with so many little homes for sale in our neighborhood
this train ain’t bound for glory anymore
this train ain’t bound for glory anymore
We’ve been stickin to the union, we’ve been stickin to our guns
but mister, we’ve been busted one by one
no bugle call for peace, just another dirty little war
and this train ain’t bound for glory anymore
this train ain’t bound for glory anymore
So I packed my bags to look for work somewhere down the road
kissed my wife at the railway station door
I heard the blind conductor call, “Everybody get on board
this train ain’t bound for glory anymore”
this train ain’t bound for glory anymore
And this land was made for you and me
