Vanished In Time - Jackie DeShannon

The flag is still wavin'

As the boxcars roll by

Don’t look for the heartland

It’s vanished in time

Vanished in time

I’m drivin' this truck down the highway

The reasons are clear in my mind

Out in that deep purple canyon

I’ll take back a piece of my life

I came here to see Jackson Pollack

Where shadows and light still embrace

Close to the heart of his vision

The staggerin' movement of grace

The flag is still wavin'

As the boxcars roll by

Don’t look for the heartland

It’s vanished in time

Vanished in time

I can’t take less than my freedom

I’ll reach for that promise tonight

There’s so many sad goodbyes

And I know when grey skies remind me

It’s only a dream to recall

Without a word of contrition

You’re leavin' the angel to fall

Some fight for honor and country

They kneel down and pray for relief

One thing that seems to be certain

We’re part of a dyin' breed

The flag is still wavin'

As the boxcars roll by

Don’t look for the heartland

It’s vanished in time

Vanished in time

The flag is still wavin'

As the boxcars roll by

Don’t look for the heartland

It’s vanished in time

Vanished in time
