William Brown Songtext

von Randy Newman

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"William Brown" von Randy Newman handelt von einem Mann namens William Brown, der seine Heimat in North Carolina verläss...

William Brown, a tobacco man
Left North Carolina when he sold his land

He took a train to Omaha
Stayed there with some friends he had

And he didn't mind the dust
And he didn't mind the wind
And he didn't mind the cold
And he didn't miss home

And he liked the people
And he liked the town
So he built himself a house beside the river

And he sent for his children
And he sent for his cars
And he bought himself a little business that would run itself

And he didn't mind the dust
And he didn't mind the wind
And he didn't mind the cold
And he never missed home
