Coming of the Roads |
Now that our mountain is growing |
With people hungry for wealth |
How come it’s you that’s a going |
And I’m left all alone by myself? |
We used to hunt the cool caverns |
Deep in our forest of green |
Then came the road and the taverns |
And you found a new love it seems |
Once I had you and the wild wood |
Now it’s just dusty roads |
And I can’t help but blamin' your goin' |
On the coming, the coming of the roads |
Look how they’ve cut all to pieces |
Our ancient redwood and oak |
And the hillsides are stained with the greases |
That burned up the heavens with smoke |
You used to curse the bold crewmen |
Who stripped our earth of its ore |
Now you’ve changed and you’ve gone over to them |
And you’ve learned to love what you hated before |
Once I thanked God for our treasure |
Now like rust it corrodes |
And I can’t help but blamin' your goin' |
On the coming, the coming of the roads |
Once I thanked God for our treasure |
Now like rust it corrodes |
And I can’t help but blamin' your goin' |
On the coming, the coming of the roads |
No, I can’t help but blamin' your goin' |
On the coming, coming of the roads |
