Bruce Cockburn - Mighty Trucks of Midnight lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - Mighty Trucks of Midnight lyrics]
The factory moved away
Down to Mexico where they work
For hardly any pay
Used to have a country but they
Sold it down the river
Like a repossessed farm auctioned off
To the highest bidder
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on
Moving on mighty trucks of midnight
Moving on moving on
Wave a flag, wave the bible
Wave your sex or your business degree
Whatever you want
But don't wave that thing at me
The tide of love can
Leave your prizes scattered
But when you get to the bottom
Love's the only thing that matters
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on
Moving on mighty trucks of midnight
Moving on moving on
I believe it's a sin to try
And make things last forever
Everything that exists in time runs
Out of time some day got to let go of the
Things that keep you tethered
Take your place with grace and
Then be on your way
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on
Moving on mighty trucks of midnight
Moving on moving on
