Vanished In Time
The flag is still wavin'
As the boxcars roll by
Don't look for the heartland
It's vanished in time
Vanished in time
I'm drivin' this truck down the highway
The reasons are clear in my mind
Out in that deep purple canyon
I'll take back a piece of my life
I came here to see Jackson Pollack
Where shadows and light still embrace
Close to the heart of his vision
The staggerin' movement of grace
The flag is still wavin'
As the boxcars roll by
Don't look for the heartland
It's vanished in time
Vanished in time
I can't take less than my freedom
I'll reach for that promise tonight
There's so many sad goodbyes
And I know when grey skies remind me
It's only a dream to recall
Without a word of contrition
You're leavin' the angel to fall
Some fight for honor and country
They kneel down and pray for relief
One thing that seems to be certain
We're part of a dyin' breed
The flag is still wavin'
As the boxcars roll by
Don't look for the heartland
It's vanished in time
Vanished in time
The flag is still wavin'
As the boxcars roll by
Don't look for the heartland
It's vanished in time
Vanished in time
As the boxcars roll by
Don't look for the heartland
It's vanished in time
Vanished in time
I'm drivin' this truck down the highway
The reasons are clear in my mind
Out in that deep purple canyon
I'll take back a piece of my life
I came here to see Jackson Pollack
Where shadows and light still embrace
Close to the heart of his vision
The staggerin' movement of grace
The flag is still wavin'
As the boxcars roll by
Don't look for the heartland
It's vanished in time
Vanished in time
I can't take less than my freedom
I'll reach for that promise tonight
There's so many sad goodbyes
And I know when grey skies remind me
It's only a dream to recall
Without a word of contrition
You're leavin' the angel to fall
Some fight for honor and country
They kneel down and pray for relief
One thing that seems to be certain
We're part of a dyin' breed
The flag is still wavin'
As the boxcars roll by
Don't look for the heartland
It's vanished in time
Vanished in time
The flag is still wavin'
As the boxcars roll by
Don't look for the heartland
It's vanished in time
Vanished in time
