Mellencamp, John - Troubled Land Lyrics
Well there's a pain in my side
But I keep traveling on
Bring peace to this troubled land
It's dark out here
I can't read those signs
Hurricane on the horizon
Judgment getting closer all the time
I can't find tomorrow
Bring peace to this troubled land
Well there's two men a walking
Down the same dirty road
Bring peace to this troubled land
They stand shoulder to shoulder
Carrying the same heavy load
One man's eyes are full of sorrow
The other man's belly full of unbearable pain
They keep getting closer
Bring peace to this troubled land
I've got many screaming children
Ten million rows to hoe
Bring peace to this troubled land
Deader than an hammer
But I can't let go
Bring peace to this troubled land
The eyes of heaven are upon you
But so is the soul from down below
They'll cut off your fingers
To bring peace to this troubled land
Well you can stand up and holler
You can lay down and die
Bring peace to this troubled land
We can turn up our collars
And never even try
To bring peace to this troubled land
Beware of those who want to harm you
And drag you down to a lower game
Just know the truth is coming
To bring peace to this troubled land
I got a pain in my side
But I keep traveling on

Mellencamp, John Troubled Land Comments
As a young boy, born and raised in Seymour, IN, I was brought up on John Mellencamp. I hadn't talked to my mom in over a year due to an arguement and had since moved to Texas. This song came on the radio and reminded me of the great times I had with my mom when I was a kid. This song made me call and reconnect with her. Thank you Joh. For the amazing music I was blessed with growing up.
NCiS again! 2019!

C'mon John, run for office. You've made a difference with your music, but now it's time to make a difference politically.
@Lostchord1000 Truth be known. John is a great songwriter and artist.
America's in trouble.BIG TIME.This man knows it..it's just now what is HE gonna do about it? John is an American ICON, but right now, we've beaten ourselves..The thought ALONE about him even considering running for some kind of office GETS MY VOTE.
Not perfect?
We OCCUPY 130 nations with 700 Military bases! We are BROKE at home, Bankrupt.
3rd worlders are flooding Europe, Australia and England/UK too, not just America.
We Invaded 2 nations ON LIES, and war with 5 presently for Israel, Oil and Corporations and the MIC.
Stop the sanctimonious BS, we are Bankrupt Morally, spiritually and financially
Zionists have seen to it.
Peace is a great goal. Just so you know...peace isn't something you can give yourself. America is not perfect, but how many countries have people are flooding across the border to get in at any cost. Our political inability to fight (when we have to) effectively is more responsible for lack of peace than anything. We need to accurately identify our enemy and give them the rapid light up. Not the decade-long pick, pick, pick. We need to stop sending money to those that hate us. Now.
Well done NCIS & Agent Langer.
I knew the track but did know it was JCM.
Great stuff.
Rachel Cain brought me here
I worry about fascism and racism rather a lot... with good reason.
American's foreign policy keeps me from sleep at night.

The best place for John is ... song-writer and singer for America, not to be politician.
And pls John, come to sing in France.
boy this song hits it on the mark gives you somthing to think about and sounds good to
@joepa420
Well the Change from freedom to Marxism is trouble enough.
And John boy here supports his blinded ambition of a liberal agenda that will enslave us all. John-boy only cares for his generation. Because OBAMA is spending the futures of the next 10 generations and John boy sits silent. Yet when Reagan was in he sung songs of freedom and Reagan gave us a future , Obama wants to change it. Obama is destruction to the USA
6 year old nonsense. You want less freedom? Welcome to Trumpville.
why senate?
are you crazy you know what he would do as a senator....... he should run for president
Awesome video. John, please run for Senate. Our country needs you!
