	作词 : Griffith
	(Nanci Griffith)
	Oh, your golden lights of America,
	Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo
	And the humming of the rails down through
	Kansas, they brought Joseph in from Baltimore
	The Cavalry the Indians and an old dan were his only friends
	Then the old dan died and the Indian's plight
	Made the Cavalry young Joe's enemy.
	Oh, the oultlaws spilled the blood across
	The Kansas plains in the '70s
	Joseph took a badge for America
	To defend you from your fantasies
	Joseph wore that badge across the Kansas prairies
	To save the railroads
	But the heroes that we made, well, they were
	Ruthless soldiers who'll kill for gold.
	With a broken heart for the frontier plains
	Joseph sat a-rocking in his front porch swing
	That old tin badge is tarnished now
	You know it was just a young man's dream
	And old man's tales are hard to reach when you
	Don't believe in your American dream
	The Indians, the buffalo and old Joe Mason
	They died from memory
	Oh, your golden lights of America
	Joseph sought your prairies and your buffalo
	And the humming of the rails down through Kansas
	They brought Joseph in from Baltimore
	The Cavalry, the Indians and an old dan
	Forsaken old man.
	Oh, your golden lights of America.
