Letra de Marriott, u.s.a.

My name is Chaffey, I´m from Marriott, U.S.A.
I´m a high school graduate and I´m looking for a way
To chase my future down and lay it at my feet
So I can answer all the questions of my old friends on the street
I lie awake at night and I think about the years
The petty victories and all the hidden tears
And about the girl I love who had to set me free
She said she´d never marry anyone ambitionless as me

The Marriott Daily is delivered to my door
It brings the outside in and I´ve seen it all before
Though all my golden dreams and all my brazen schemes
May scatter like a rainbow on an open sea
Oh no, you won´t find me staring down an M16
You took my brother from the Marriott High School all-star team
You took my brother from Marriott and from me

My dad´s made window shades for twenty-seven years
He´s had his share of laughter and an equal share of tears
And I still live in the second room of my parent´s hall
My brother watches me from the stationary frame upon the wall
Mom tends the garden and occasionally perms her hair
She´s not political, she sticks to her own affairs
But they voted the cowboy in and they think he´s doing fine
He´s created some very new and interesting, innovative lies

And the Marriott Daily is delivered to my door
It brings the outside in and I´ve seen it all before
Though all my golden dreams and all my brazen schemes
May scatter like a rainbow on the open sea
Oh no, you won´t find me staring down an M16
You took my brother from the Marriott High School all-star team
You took my brother from Marriott and from me

We celebrated when they came home from Iran
We tied a bunch of yellow ribbons on the van
Drove into Marriott, went into church and prayed
But secretly I asked the Lord if this is how heroes are made
Speaking of heroes, a word about my dad
Son of mine, take your time ´cause now you´re all we have
And if you refuse to go, I´ll support you all the way
And that will surely be a first for the folks in Marriott, U.S.A.

And the Marriott Daily is delivered to my door
It brings the outside in and I´ve seen it all before
Though all my golden dreams and all my brazen schemes
May scatter like a rainbow on an open sea
Oh no, you won´t find me staring down an M16
You took my brother from the Marriott High School all-star team
You took my brother from Marriott and from me
