Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

The night hawk flies and the owl cries as we’re driving down the road
\nListening to the music on the all night radio show
\nThe announcer comes on says, “if you’ve got ideas I’ll file a patent for you.
\nWhat good’s an idea that’s not in the store, makin’ a buck or two?”<\/p>\n

We drive to the town but the shutters are down and the all night restaurant closed
\nIt’s the land of the free we’ve got booze and TV and tramps in the telephone booths
\nThe stars and the trees and the early spring breeze say forget what assassins have done
\nTake the good soil in the palm of your hand and wait for tomorrow’s sun<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nIt’s a long way from the heartland to Santiago Bay
\nWhere the good doctor lies with blood in his eyes and the bullets read USA<\/p>\n

A truck driver’s life is a very strange life driving down the road
\nCarrying the goods, all the copper and wood. That’s what makes American great
\nThe dollars like swallows fly to the south where they know they’ve something to gain–
\nAllende is killed–the trucks are rolling again<\/p>\n

The night hawk flies and the owl cries as we’re driving down the road
\nThe full moon reveals the houses and fields where good people do what they’re told
\nA poet lies with coins in his eyes, there’s no one around him to mourn
\nWho needs a poet who won’t take commands, who’d rather make love than war?<\/p>\n
