about

A tribute to blue collar artist Joe Casey.

lyrics

A woods of sturdy perfect trees,
Seven cattle in a meadow standing, strained,
A two lane highway, a truck rolls down
Loaded full with yellow grain.
Somewhere in America, Somewhere in America.
An empty house up on a hill,
The lights are on, the drapes are open
An empty window, an empty porch
beside an empty driveway.
Somewhere in America, Somewhere in America.

His daughter pearls, his wife knits,
He sets his easel up and sits
And paints these scenes from yesterdays
Takes his memory back aways
To the Ozark hills, big Missouri rivers
The dripstone table at Merimac Caverns
Where the James boys gathered to split the loot
To the hollows and ridges
where they’d fish and shoot.
On his canvas the hills are melting,
hills are melting, hills are melting.

Here he’s a toddler on this mother’s knee
All around, his family
On chairs arranged and posed real nice
Look at the camera and smile
twice as long as they ever smiled before.
He’s got suspicious eyes,
he wonders what they’re smiling for.
Different colors, different days,
Different people with different ways,
A common story, a simple scene,
a sky that’s blue above a land that’s green
Somewhere in America
