Kevin Costner & Modern West : Untold Truths - 08 5 Minutes From America

I got two little kids in a broke down car
On the side of the road in view of the Texaco star
I spent all on my money on water and food
Got Willie on the radio singing those country blues

Well I had a good job down in New Orleans
Once I was a citizen, now im a refugee
I cant go back, cant move ahead
Tried to make a call but I cant cause
My goddamned cellphones dead

Im just five minutes from America
I see it very clear
Im just five minutes from America
But you cant get there from here

I kept up with the Jones wherever they are
I had some real nice neighbors had me a big back yard
Now Im watching the world pass me by
Like Im an immigrant on the move
Saw the roof of my house on the TV sitting in my motel room

Back down the road a policeman smiled then he offered his hand
He said welcome stranger but you really cant stay here man
On up ahead theres some opportunities
You can find em everywhere
Maybe go to Houston, theres a lot of you there

Willie sang blues eyes crying in the rain
Out in Luchenbach Texas, they aint feeling no pain
But in the back of my head, the waves still pound
When the levee broke the music stopped
And the world was watching as hell came down
