[00:01.42] Dreams of the San Joaquin - Kenny Rogers
[00:32.06] I'm sending you some money
[00:34.74]
[00:35.42] I wish it could be more
[00:39.98] But it's harder than I thought
[00:42.98] To find the work I came here for
[00:46.10]
[00:47.85] This place is just as pretty
[00:51.09] As I pictured it to be
[00:53.71]
[00:56.02] But a man in need of work's
[00:58.77] An all too common sight to see
[01:02.01]
[01:05.50] Each morning as the trucks roll in
[01:08.87] A lucky few climb on
[01:11.81] And the rest of us are left to wonder
[01:15.24] Where the dream has gone
[01:17.55]
[01:19.92] Where the dream has gone
[01:22.86]
[01:29.29] They say the Sierra melts with the rain
[01:39.79]
[01:42.16] To race through the valley like blood through the vein
[01:52.46]
[01:54.95] Turning the lowland from golden to green
[02:06.12]
[02:07.23] To harvest forever I dreams of the San Joaquin
[02:18.94]
[02:29.99] Every day I struggle
[02:32.74] With the distance and the fear
[02:36.24]
[02:37.86] That I will not return
[02:40.67] Or find a way to bring you here
[02:44.42]
[02:45.41] My emptiness grows deeper
[02:48.74] I feel my spirit fall
[02:52.67]
[02:53.74] As night comes like a blanket
[02:55.98]
[02:56.79] It brings no sleep at all
[02:59.49]
[03:02.86] I only hope that time will find
[03:06.67] A way to work things out
[03:09.53] We will be together
[03:11.65]
[03:12.40] In the life we aboutdream
[03:15.28]
[03:17.34] The life we dream about
[03:21.70]
[03:26.95] They say the Sierra melts with the rain
[03:37.28]
[03:39.34] And race through the valley like blood through the vein
[03:50.84]
[03:52.53] Turning the lowland from golden to green
[04:03.59]
[04:04.78] To harvest forever I dreams of the San Joaquin
[04:16.91]
[04:17.92] We'll harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin
