words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Sitting down on a country fence post
Sitting down watchin' trucks roll by
Sitting down under the light of day now
You know that I won't tell you no lies
I've been here for an hour or so
And nothing much is going down
I don't care much anyway
Because you know I've been around
Here on the edge of the green fields growing
And the sunlight warming all around
And the blowing of the early mist in the morning
You know that I don't hear a sound
Till once in a while, when a truck rolls by,
Carrying a overload
I don't wanna go nowhere right now
I feel like my future sold
Stand on the good land children
You know that it won't do you in
I must have been here one time before
But I wonder where the hell I've been
Early in the morning when the sun comes up
And I'm walkin' all around the field
Thinkin' to myself about the city life scenes
And man you know they ain't for real
All you got to do is stick your foot in your mouth
And tell it where you want to go
End up talkin' to yourself some time
Alone along a country road
Stand on the good land children
I feel like I'm bound to stay
And do the same this morning
Like I went and did yesterday
Stand on the good land children
You know that it won't do you in
I must have been here one time before
But I wonder where the hell I've been
Arlo Guthrie is an American folk singer-songwriter born in Coney Island, New York, in 1947. Son of the renowned poet and writer Woody Guthrie, Arlo inherited his father's passion for music and strong social commitment that characterize his work. His musical career began in the 1960s with an acoustic folk sound influenced by the folk revival movement. His international success came in 1968 with the song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", a long satirical ballad that tells the story of a real event and becomes an anthem against the Vietnam War. Guthrie is known for his narrative songs, often of great length, which deal with social, political, and environmental issues. Among his most famous songs are also "Coming into Los Angeles", "City of New Orleans" and "The Motorcycle Song". Arlo Guthrie continues to perform live and record new albums, remaining an icon of American folk.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
