use um CAPO no 3º traste intro Nine miles of two-strand topped with barbed wire laid by the father for the son. Good shelter down there on the valley floor, down by where the sweet stream run. Now they might give me compensation... That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday. Now all I have got is a cheque and a pickup truck. I left my farm on the freeway. They're busy building airports on the south side... Silicon chip factory on the east. And the big road's pushing through along the valley floor. Hot machine pouring six lanes at the very least. Now they might give me compensation... That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday. Now all I have left is a broken-down pickup truck. Looks like my farm is a freeway. They forgot they told us what this old land was for. Grow two tons the acre, boy, between the stones. This was no Southfork, it was no Ponderosa. But it was the place that I called home. Now they might give me compensation... That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday. And what do I want with a million dollars and a pickup truck? When I left my farm under the freeway. _____________________________________________________ Duvidas e sugestões: [email protected]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la nostalgie d'un homme qui a perdu sa ferme, autrefois son refuge et sa richesse, remplacée par une autoroute envahissante. Il se souvient de la terre qu'il chérissait, maintenant défigurée par le développement urbain et industriel. Cet homme, qui avait tout avant, se retrouve désormais avec un simple chèque et une camionnette en mauvais état, réalisant que la compensation matérielle n'apporte pas le bonheur ni le sens de sa vie. Au lieu d'une fortune, il regrette le lien profond qu’il avait avec sa terre, un lien désormais détruit par la modernité.
