Bruce Hornsby Great Divide lyrics

You`re saying I`ve got, got a lot, a lot of nerve

To say that we could, we could be friends

YOu`re thinking I`m just another one telling lies

You don`t want to be fooled, fooled again



And you always go your way

And I always go mine

Maybe one day we`ll come together

Across the great divide



I heard somebody calling you a bad name

But I was speechless, didn`t say anything to him

Next time I swear, it`ll be different

I promise not to be silent again



And you always go your way

And I always go mine

Maybe one day we`ll come together

Across the great divide

And I always cross to the other side

But I go back every time

Maybe one day we`ll come together

Across the great divide



I saw a bombed aisle, heard a gunshot ring

Saw two matchsticks burn, felt the bedsheets sting

Ugly words on a wall, and a robe in flames

Then I saw a little boy smile, when the clouds did move away



And you always go your way

And I always go mine

Maybe one day we`ll come together

Across the great divide
