[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
