Western Centuries
Knocking ’em Down
[Verse 1]
Another hundred miles to go
Will anybody see the show?
Now we’re drivin’ through a world of snow
And the road calls your name
I’ve been wonderin’ what went wrong
Cryin’ as I sing your song
Always gettin’ our hearts shat on
And it all feels the same
[Chorus]
What ever happened to the schemes we made
Have they all blown away?
Windows broken and the grass turned brown
I keep setting ‘em up
You keep knocking ‘em down
[Verse 2]
Always workin’ on a house of cards
Flames jumpin’ out in the yard
Never thought we’d have to push this hard
And we all laughed as one
Wheels spinnin’ through the heart of town
Remember when our dreams burned down?
Diggin’ trenches in the cold hard ground
Now the hard times are gone
[Chorus]
What ever happened to the schemes we made
Have they all blown away?
Windows broken and the grass turned brown
I keep setting ‘em up
You keep knocking ‘em down
[Verse 3]
I’m gonna pack my car and drive
Feelin’ lucky just to be alive
I heard there’s supper on the other side
And the miles slide on by
We’ve got to make our way through this thing
Who knows what the call might bring?
There’s still too many songs to sing
And more tears to cry
[Chorus]
What ever happened to the schemes we made
Have they all blown away?
Windows broken and the grass turned brown
I keep setting ‘em up
You keep knocking ‘em down
What ever happened to the schemes we made
Have they all blown away?
