[02:20.604]A long time ago came a man on a track
[02:23.754]Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
[02:27.562]And he put down his load
[02:29.846]Where he thought it was the best
[02:31.929]He made a home in the wilderness
[02:38.581]He built a cabin and a winter store
[02:41.374]And he plowed up the ground by the cold lake shore
[02:46.609]And the other travellers came walking down the track
[02:50.367]And they never went further no
[02:56.409]They never went back
[02:58.340]Then came the churches
[02:59.457]Then came the schools
[03:02.757]Then came the lawyers
[03:04.840]Then came the rules
[03:06.617]Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
[03:38.208]And the dirty old track
[03:42.15]Was the telegraph road
[03:45.538]Then came the mines
[03:48.654]Then came the ore
[03:52.831]Then there was the hard times
[03:57.141]Like a rolling river
[05:03.276]And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
[05:09.878]People driving home from the factories
[05:11.604]Six lanes of traffic
[05:14.651]Three lanes moving slow
[07:20.704]I used to like to go to work
[07:21.872]But they shut it down
[07:22.634]I've got a right to go to work
[07:24.616]But there's no work here to be found
[07:26.494]Yes and they say
[07:27.966]We're gonna have to pay what's owed
[07:31.64]We're gonna have to reap
[07:32.744]From some seed that's been sowed
[07:37.116]And the birds up on the wires
[07:39.655]And the telegraph poles
[07:41.330]They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
[07:45.241]You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
[08:34.259]But I remember those nights
[08:35.20]When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
[08:37.02]You had your head on my shoulder
[08:38.67]You had your hand in my hair
[08:43.553]Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
[08:48.579]But just believe in me baby and I'll take you away
[08:50.865]From out of this darkness and into the day
[08:54.217]From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
[08:55.892]From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
[08:59.751]'Cos I've run every red light on memory lane
[09:03.662]I've seen desperation explode into flames
[09:08.842]And I don't wanna see it again
[09:15.342]From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
