Love Like An Immigrant |
| Grandpa came over on the boat |
| His voice was thick with the old world and smoke |
| And ran in Chicago, 'til he met my grandma |
| The he moved to South Bend with his new 14 year old bride |
| So mamma and Louie and the rest of the family |
| Lived in a duplex next to my great grandma Baldoni |
| And believed in the hopes that can grow in a country |
| Even after my grandma and grandpa went their separate ways |
| He said «Love who you are, love what it’s meant |
| Live out your love like a new immigrant» |
| My dad drove a mile truck before he was 14 |
| Came back from Korea in 1953 |
| Met up with my mother, introduced by his sister |
| They put a dime in the juke box, took a turn on the dance floor |
| He said «Love who you are, love what it’s meant |
| Live out your love like a new immigrant» |
| So I came along after one and before another |
| Grew up on the Beatles and Jack Kennedy’s murder |
| I went looking for something in more than one country |
| Fell in love once or twice, broke my heart, but I’d try it again |
| So this is the new world, not the old world |
| Let me lie close beside you and whisper have you heard |
| The sound of the singing from some bright new country |
| And catch it’s been calling us home to it lately |
| So «love who you are, love what it’s meant |
| Live out your love like a new immigrant» |
