(Nanci Griffith - Pat Alger - James Hooker)
Nobody seems to care about you
With your tool case by the roadside
There beneath the power lines
Or the pallor of your skin
Paled beneath flourescent lights
In a Greyhound station's cruel midnight
Where you can't afford the ride
Chorus
Oh, the power lines
They go from sea to sea
They carry voices
Love from him to me
The power lines you fall beneath
Are the rainbows you can't climb
And you will not climb the power lines
You are lost beneath the power lines
There's nowhere that you haven't been
And no place that you call your home
There's no place that you cannot go
With the gift within your hands
And the tools to build another's dream
That connects them to the power lines
You do not feel your need
Chorus (Twice)

My mother came to America
Back in the Thirties
With the streets paved in gold
And the sky laced with moonbeams
Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons...

Now means much of anything
In traveling through this part of you
And the Vietnam that I had dreamed

The evening fell just like a star
Left a trail behind
If this is love we're crazy
As we fight like cats and dogs
I just know there's got to be more

And everyday the boy would come

He owned a hotel on Jersey shore
She made her living seeing the sailors door to door
He was a small Hawaiian with a crooked smile
But he made her eyes...
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes
and Chestnut hair.
She made the Woolworth counter shine.
And Eddie was a sweet romancer and darn good dancer.

They found love amongst the hate
