Dreams Of The San Joaquin Lyrics - You Can't Make Old Friends - Kenny Rogers

I'm sending you some money 

I wish it could be more 

But it's harder than I thought 

To find the work I came here for 

This place is just as pretty 

As I pictured it to be 

And a man in need of work's 

An all too common sight to see 

Each morning as the trucks roll in 

A lucky few climb on 

And the rest of us are left to wonder 

Where the dream has gone 

Where the dream has gone

They say the Sierras melt with the rain 

And race through the valley 

Like blood through the vein 

Turning the lowland 

From golden to green 

To harvest forever 

Our dreams of the San Joaquin 

Every day I struggle 

With the distance and the fear 

That I will not return or find 

A way to bring you here 

My emptiness grows deeper 

I feel my spirit fall 

As night comes like a blanket 

That brings no sleep at all 

Photos 

I only hope that time will find 

A way to work things out 

And we will be together 

In the life we dream about 

The life we dream about 

And race through the valley 

Like blood through the vein 

Turning the lowland 

From golden to green 

To harvest forever 

Our dreams of the San Joaquin 

We'll harvest forever 

In dreams of the San Joaquin 

And race through the valley 

Like blood through the vein 

Turning the lowland 

From golden to green 

To harvest forever 

Our dreams of the San Joaquin 

And race through the valley 

Like blood through the vein 

Turning the lowland 

From golden to green 

To harvest forever 

Our dreams of the San Joaquin
