REO Speedwagon - Golden Country

Lyrics:

Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand
Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah......

[Solo]

Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand

[Repeat]

@KayeWhye I would if I knew how. All the old REO(before they commercial) are my favorite.



[rwoods1336]

saw them in 1979,  was hell of a show.........

[KayeWhye]

My favorite REO tune ever! I am trying to find the live version of 157 Riverside Avenue. The one from A Decade Of Rock And Roll, if someone has it, PLEASE post it!

@Rhoxie14 I know, what i was trying to say, was that to me anyway, bands like reo, styx, the babys, post 1976 journey, were formerly good bands, and always had some good songs, but they got so commercial, and overproduced...hey they got rich following a formula... good for them, music is a matter of taste anyway, i love golden country, and richrath is a great guitarist, i just think that most their late 70's, early 80's stuff is crap, just my opinion... and yes, i was born in 62...
