River Valley Plains

All the way down
 This old highway I found
 You asleep as I drove
 My eyes wanting to close
 Fell asleep to the sounds of that man
 Telling us the history of this land
 All the houses that were built
 And the blood that was spilled.
 Now there is no king to say who really owns these lands
 We'll just settle them as fast as we can
 We'll get a saw mill there so you can build your houses build your chairs
 Does the mighty river know what we have planned?
 I am woken by first light
 I'll leave you sleeping there 'til check out time
 Let the sun have it's day
 In this city these old weathered streets
 They whisper things they were told not to repeat
 So let's get out while we can
 To the place where the river valley ends
 On this river valley plain we'll cut these trees, we'll grow these grains
 We'll settle it as fast as we can
 One hundred fifty years we'll throw our garbage shed out tears
 Into the river that once ran clear through these lands
 All the way down
 This old highway I found
 You asleep as I drove
 My eyes wanting to close
