A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to
And the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America
A lady dressed in white with the man she loved
Standing along the side of their pickup truck
A shot rang out in the night
Just when everything seemed right
Another headline written down in America
The guy that lived next door in #305
Took the kids to the park and disappeared
About half past nine
Who will ever know
How much she loved them so
That dark night alone in America
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America
Four small boys playing ball in a parking lot
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
A car skidded into the rain
Making the last little one a saint
One more light goes out in America
A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
She hopes for a heaven while for her
There's just this hell
She gave away her life
To become somebody's wife
Another wish unanswered in America
People having so much faith
Die too soon while all the rest come late
We write a song that no one sings
On a cold black stone
Where a lasting peace will finally bring
The sunlight plays upon my windowpane
I wake up to a world that's still the same
My father said to be strong
And that a good man could never do wrong
In a dream I had last night in America
A wise man was telling storie to me
About the places he had been to
And the things that he had seen

I plain love how everything slips into place at RP. Listening to Marc Ribot ... who played guitar for T Bone Burnett (RP playis T Bone) ... who produced a couple of Los Lobos albums (RP plays Los Lobos) ... and so on ...
EXCELLENT!! Thanx RP! 
what a great guitar band.
they put on great live shows.
I wish they would tour more.
especially in the midwest.
You know...where Richie Valens died in a plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa.

What a great group. Not fancy, just good tunes. Saw them for the first time in ‘19, while at the Ramble on the Island.
Just wow, but I gotta remember that sometimes reading the lyrics can lead to tears running down my cheeks at work. Simply a wonderful and beautiful song.
These guys always have had nice guitar work.
And they are a great live band to see.

In the timbers to Fennario the wolves are running 'round....
Will forever associate this song with Background Briefing from Ian Masters. https://www.backgroundbriefing.org/
I just blasted this
fine music from fine musicians.
SO good! One of my favorite American bands of all time.
People always comment on how much RP plays Porcupine Tree. I think Los Lobos is played WAY more than PT! Ugh...

My wife and I liked them in San Diego in the 80s on local radio, then in 1990 we were in Japan and went to see them in a little lounge/dance club in Tokyo. Terrific. Never saw them live again, but we have followed them and bought their albums ever since. Great bunch of musicians and songwriters,.
I don't know if they tour much anymore, but they can put on some great live shows. Seen them a few times...indoor and outdoor.

I have a list of artists I would love to meet. David Hidalgo is near the top on that list.
Best garage band you will ever hear next to Neil. This song is one of many from an incredible group.

What a great song, and the video will stay with you, especially now.
I originally posted a comment about this song way back around 1998.
It disappeared with a shuffle of Radio Paradise back around that time.
Let me see if I can remember it...
Desperately trying to get decent FM stations from out of this desert... both geographically and radio wise. I would seek out the most sensitive FM tuner for my truck. I had a fairly ingenious system of extension cords and a household plug to put speakers into the house I was working on. Working in construction (now over 44 years) I would listen to KROQ-FM Los Angeles and 91X FM San Diego.
One day while listening to 91X out of San Diego in 1995, Mike Halloran who was one the DJ's there at the time (he's back there again),
happened to put on Never Hold You by Dwight Yoakum. A real decent rocker of a song.
Well his phone lines lit up by people complaining about him playing a country artist.
He told his audience that they play a lot of "country songs" and played some Beat Farmers, Wilco, Toad the Wet Sprocket and this gem of a song!
When I got home (no cell phones then), I called him and thanked him for that.

For my money, one of the best songs of the 80's, period. A shame it never got wider recognition and play. Thanks RP.

Nice tune. I was always bummed when this single from '87 didn't do anything, but their "La Bamba" cover went through the roof. Go figure.
my 1st Los Lobos album and I went right out and got their other one
This is real.
Never heard this before, what a shame. Superb lyrics.

This whole album is an underrated gem.
Gotta love Los Lobos. Their music always seems to elevate my mood.
Fabuloso! Must get this one on my Pod!
Bittersweet.
Beautiful.
Bless you Bill.

Excellent song, whole album is great. Really paints a picture of what it is like growing up Hispanic in East LA, as current today as when the album was cut.

Los Lobos are a national treasure, and I'm so proud to call 'em Homies.
I enjoy and endorse the thematic interpretations provided.
Wow, 5 songs about America in a row.... I think we should have Trey Parker's "Team America, F&¤# Yeah!" next for a good giggle.... Team America, putting the F back in Freedom.....
AGREED!!!

Yeah, it does sound country. That's not neccessarily a bad thing. Some country is mainstream, some traditional,some crossover, some rock, rockabilly, or bluegrass, and some downright painful. I enjoy country, but as in all things, I pick and choose from the smörgasbord that is available out there. It is nice that Bill throws in a bit of countryish stuff, now and then....just to keep us on our toes...

Remember that Mexican Mariachi music started out as Country Music .. just from Mexican Country folks. Some of the translations of them might as well describe West Virginia coal mines.

Sometimes, real life is depressing. IMO, that's the difference between "art" and "entertainment".
After reading the lyrics, up from 7 to 8. I guess the words blew over my head the first time I heard it.

Like flipping through a series of snapshots. Wonderful song.
I can't decide what this sounds like more...."Lay Down Sally" by Eric Clapton or "Queen of Hearts" by Juice Newton.
Either way, I despised them both and I despise this one equally. But that's just me.
I did, however, give it a 5 for quality. I can appreciate quality. Just not the music itself.

I was just about to rip you a new one: I read that as 'American Idol'! Whew, that was close.
You're right on, brother. Los Lobos occupies a unique portion of the American lexicon, crossing boundaries once considered inviolate.

A great anthem from a great album.
Classic rock and roll song structure (including the bridge between verses 2 & 3) and great riffs.
I love these guitar rifts.
What a tragic song to go with such a happy feeling tune!
still like it though.
I'm so happy for all the positive comments about this song and band. They so deserve it like just about no other band out there. They are the real deal in every sense of the phrase, and always leave me in awe with their musicianship, poetry, soul and class.

hard for me to pick a fave Lobos song but this is definitely outstanding I think. It would be cool if they would put a recording of this in one of those capsules they shoot out into space to introduce us to alien beings

Sounds like something you'd hear Greg Gutfeld say on Red Eye.
what a great song; such an underrated band; too bad most people only know La Bamba; that's just one of their faces; awesome, I love Los Lobos!
Tonight at the Oregon Zoo!
I've said this on other LL threads before, but everybody NEEDS to see this band live. They will blow you away.
I saw Los Lobos in Fairbanks, Alaska in a high school auditorium. They were part of a concert series billed as a "Folk Band". There were many elderly season ticket holders sitting in the front rows.
I don't know what they expected, but Los Lobos rocked out that night. We had salsa dancing on stage, it was amazing. Most of the elderly left at intermission - probably becuase of the volume. It was a really fun night.
