A long time ago came a man on a track Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back And he put down his load Where he thought it was the best He made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store And he plowed up the ground by the cold lake shore And the other travellers came walking down the track And they never went further no
They never went back Then came the churches Then came the schools Then came the lawyers Then came the rules Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track
Was the telegraph road
Then came the mines Then came the ore
Then there was the hard times
Like a rolling river
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze People driving home from the factories Six lanes of traffic Three lanes moving slow
I used to like to go to work But they shut it down I've got a right to go to work But there's no work here to be found Yes and they say We're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap From some seed that's been sowed
And the birds up on the wires
And the telegraph poles They can always fly away from this rain and this cold You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
But I remember those nights When life was just a bet on a race between the lights You had your head on my shoulder You had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care But just believe in me baby and I'll take you away From out of this darkness and into the day From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain From the anger that lives on the streets with these names 'Cos I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't wanna see it again
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
