When rivers ran blue up on the mountain
|
And rivers ran green out on the plain
|
When the river ran red in Glenwood Canyon
|
It was only a matter of time
|
|
Then rivers ran gold up on the mountain
|
And rivers ran wild out on the plain
|
And the river ran free through Glenwood Canyon
|
And it was only a matter of time
|
|
And the miners came and they took the gold and the people staked a claim
|
And the builders came and they made a dam and the people came to play
|
And the 'dozers came and they built a road and the people found a way
|
Through Glenwood Canyon
|
|
Now rivers run grey up on the mountain
|
And rivers brown out on the plain
|
And the river runs red through Glenwood Canyon
|
But it's only a matter of time
|
