Lyrics
© Catherine MacLellan 2005 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 You’re a child of the night anyway 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
