I walked down that boulder road, | |
Through a child's eye saw places where i used to go. | |
Where i crawled barefoot with a fishing pole | |
To the rock that overlooked that steelhead hole | |
But it's true--silver river turning blue. | |
It was a small town in a smaller world. | |
Just a black dot on an old map with its edges curled. | |
Where they built their industries on the edge of town-- | |
Leaching chemicals from underground | |
Now it's true--that silver river turning blue. | |
Just got a late reaction. face reality and stare it down. | |
Sometimes it's harder hanging on. much easier to look around. | |
But i need that job. | |
Well, this place no city: we're just small players here. | |
Like a million other heroes drinking poor man's beer. | |
We know what's right. we're just living it wrong. | |
But there's no easy answer in the green man's song. | |
What do you do? when your river's turning blue. |
I walked down that boulder road, | |
Through a child' s eye saw places where i used to go. | |
Where i crawled barefoot with a fishing pole | |
To the rock that overlooked that steelhead hole | |
But it' s truesilver river turning blue. | |
It was a small town in a smaller world. | |
Just a black dot on an old map with its edges curled. | |
Where they built their industries on the edge of town | |
