"Steel River Blues" lyrics

Steel River Blues

Wherever I go
Whatever I do
There'll always be
A smile that I knew

Upon the grey
How it lit the sky
As we dreamed our dreams
And let the young days go by

But there'd come a time
We used to say
We'd both have to part
Just to get away

But the reasons were the same
For me and you
To try to kick away
The fear we knew
Call them steel river blues
Steel river blues

How the years went by
Too damn fast it seems
As we followed through
Our young and desperate dreams

You know me so well
And I know you
And to the world it seems
We both got through

But only you and me know
What is really true
The only thing we never
Got to do
Kick away
Those steel river blues
Steel river blues
Steel river blues
Steel river blues

Ah, you know me so well
And I know you
And to the world it seems
We both got through

But only you and me
Know what is really true
The only thing we never
Got to do
Kick away
Those steel river blues
Steel river blues
Steel river blues

Steel
River
Blues
