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
But a man in need of work's an all too common sight to see
Each morning as the trucks roll in the lucky few climb on
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 valleys like blood through the veins
Turning the lowlands from golden to green
To harvest forever on dreams of the San Joaquin
ย
Every day I struggle with the distance and the fear
That I might not return or find a way to bring you here
My emptiness grows deeper, my spirit starts to fall
As night comes like a blanket that brings no sleep at all
I only hope that time will find a way to work things out
That we may be together in this life we dreamed about
This life we dreamed about
They say the Sierras (Dicen que las Sierras)
Melt with the rain (Con la lluvia)
And race through the valleys (Y corren con el rayo)
Like blood through the veins (De las sangres)
Turning the lowlands (Acomian los Sierras)
From golden to green (Por el chorrillo)
To harvest forever (Por si acaba siempre)
On dreams of the San Joaquin (Los rios del San Joaquin)
We'll harvest forever (We'll harvest forever)
In dreams of the San Joaquin
