I can find some work or possibly a friend There are others who have made it here They will show me how to find a job and a place to lay my head And I cannot be concerned with dreams of my children For there are 5 others in line for my bed [Chorus:] In these gardens of white crosses Growing in the California sand In these gardens of white crosses We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand I will gladly pick your peaches or clean your hotel rooms I will do the jobs American won?t do With cell phones to their heads and $700 dollar shoes I will risk my life ?cause it?s all I have to lose Let the devil in the mountains promise me a ride Found an 18 wheeler and put all of us inside And just outside of victory, 19 of us died None of our bodies hit the floor And so my wife she still wonders when I?m coming home The riches that I promised her for leaving her alone I said I would send her all that I could save But I ended up in California in an unknown grave [Chorus:] In these gardens of white crosses growing in the California sand In these gardens of white crosses we are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand [repeat] Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The Rhythm of Life, I Could Not Ask For More, Ill Be, Promise Of You, Sign On The Door, Mijn Ogen Zeggen Alles, 25 Miles, Crucify, SOS Stop Her On Sight, Twenty-Five Miles, Twenty-five Miles, War, 20 Years Too Late, A Girl Like You, Back to the Back Room, Calling on You, Its a Funny Thing, Johnny Teardrop, Keep on Burning, Little Things, Mine Is At, Never Felt Like This, No Idea, Shouldnt Have Done That, Splitting Up, Stars In My Eyes, The Beatles, The Magic Piper Of Love, The Story So Far, (Miedzy Nami) Deszcz, All That Lost Time, Angel, art W ZOO, Before You Came, Blues For You, Boogie Czyli Zemsta Sodka Jest, Buntowniczka, Cay Ten Czas, Ciekawe (Kto Mi Zabroni), Clouds They Block My Way, Co Zmienio Sie, Czas Przypywu, Cztery Pokoje, Dlaczego Nie Mowisz Nic, Dobrze Nam, Dziecko, Egoici, Emmilou, Get Off My Cloud, Goodbye To The Roman Candles, Other Edwin Mccain song Lyrics (Ive Got To) Stop Thinking Bout That Lyrics 3 A.M.
