lyrics

almost fine

is this my country where did it go
i wander these back roads quiet and slow
who are these people their language is strange
i can't understand them i can't pronounce their names

don't make me change don't make me change
i've been here a long time doing almost fine
don't make me change

there's no more work here the factory's closed down
they've moved into our houses taken over our town
they come from the desert across the sea
i can't understand them they don't look like me

don't make me change don't make me change
i've been here a long time doing almost fine
don't make me change

my father was from here my grandfather too
my mother never liked it but what could she do
she'd take in your laundry she'd make up your bed
now that work's all gone, gone, gone to the stranger instead

don't make me change don't make me change
i've been here a long time doing almost fine
don't make me change

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
