Joan Baez - Marriott USA Lyrics
My name is Chaffey, I'm from Marriott, U.S.A.I'm a high school graduate and I'm looking for a wayTo chase my future down and lay it at my feetSo I can answer all the questions of my old friends on the streetI lie awake at night and I think about the yearsThe petty victories and all the hidden tearsAnd about the girl I love who had to set me freeShe said she'd never marry anyone ambitionless as meThe Marriott Daily is delivered to my doorIt brings the outside in and I've seen it all beforeThough all my golden dreams and all my brazen schemesMay scatter like a rainbow on an open seaOh no, you won't find me staring down an M16You took my brother from the Marriott High School all-star teamYou took my brother from Marriott and from meMy dad's made window shades for twenty-seven yearsHe's had his share of laughter and an equal share of tearsAnd I still live in the second room of my parent's hallMy brother watches me from the stationary frame upon the wallMom tends the garden and occasionally perms her hairShe's not political, she sticks to her own affairsBut they voted the cowboy in and they think he's doing fineHe's created some very new and interesting, innovative liesAnd the Marriott Daily is delivered to my doorIt brings the outside in and I've seen it all beforeThough all my golden dreams and all my brazen schemesMay scatter like a rainbow on the open seaOh no, you won't find me staring down an M16You took my brother from the Marriott High School all-star teamYou took my brother from Marriott and from meWe celebrated when they came home from IranWe tied a bunch of yellow ribbons on the vanDro
