G D G C
The railroads and the riverboats that bred the mighty man
G D C D
That we read about and we dream about, the men who built this land
G D G D
And the farmers and the lumbermen and the men who worked the mills
G D C D
And the poor hard working miners who died inside the hills
G C
While the rivers that flow are the blood of our land
D G
And the trucks they keep rumbling on the great concrete band
G C
And the railroads keep pushing to be all they once were
D G
And nature is calling, no one's listening to her
G D G C
And the immigrants by the boat load in a dozen different tones
G D C G
Sang of freedom in the new land, climbed the ladder rung by rung
G D G C
Some to Boston, some to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and St. Paul
G D C G
And the old ways led to new days, they were welcome one and all
G C
While the rivers that flow are the blood of our land
D G
And the trucks they keep rumbling on the great concrete band
G C
And the railroads keep pushing to be all they once were
D G
And nature is calling, no one's listening to her
G D G C
With the railroads and the riverboats and the bread lines far behind
G D C G
And the days we sang together, long gone but still in mind
G D G C
And the men who came before us, men who brought us to today
G D C G
And the story still unravels from the dreams of yesterday
