John Mellencamp - Troubled Land lyrics

Well there's a pain in my side But I keep traveling on Bring peace to this troubled land It's dark out here I can't read those signs Bring peace to the troubled land Hurricane on the horizon Judgment getting closer all the time I can't find tomorrow Bring peace to this troubled land Well there's two men a walking Down the same dirty road Bring peace to this troubled land They stand shoulder to shoulder Carrying the same heavy load Bring peace to this troubled land One man's eyes are full of sorrow The other man's belly full of unbearable pain They keep getting closer Bring peace to this troubled land I've got many screaming children Ten million rows to hoe Bring peace to this troubled land Deader than an hammer But I can't let go Bring peace to this troubled land The eyes of heaven are upon you But so is the soul from down below They'll cut off your fingers To bring peace to this troubled land Well you can stand up and holler You can lay down and die Bring peace to this troubled land We can turn up our collars And never even try To bring peace to this troubled land Beware of those who want to harm you And drag you down to a lower game Just know the truth is coming To bring peace to this troubled land I got a pain in my side But I keep traveling on
