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
