Steel River |
| I was born and raised on steel river |
| I see it all like it was yesterday |
| The ships and bridges they were all delivered |
| From sydney harbour to the cisco bay |
| And I met my love down on steel river |
| We served our dreams and spent our childhood days |
| In rainy streets wed kiss away the shivers |
| And hide from fear inside the latest craze |
| Dancing to motown |
| Making love with carole king record playing |
| And oh how I loved you |
| Say goodbye steel river |
| Ten thousand bombers hit the steel river |
| And many died to keep her running free |
| And she survived but now shes gone forever |
| Her burning heart is just a memory |
| And I ran away from life on steel river |
| Luck or not I gladly took the break |
| The odds were low the chances nearly zero |
| A chance it was I had to take |
| Say goodbye steel river |
| They say that salmon swim in steel river |
| They say its good to see them back again |
| I know it hurts to see what really happened |
| I know one salmon aint no good to them |
| They were born and raised to serve their steel mother |
| It was they taught and all they ever knew |
| And they believed that she would keep their children |
| Even though not a single word was true |
| Say goodbye steel river |
