Kristen and Jim - Eric Clapton

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

Sometimes I think about our good old high school days You would always kid about my adolescent ways Oh, Mary, Mary, good to see you too Haven't seen to many of the old crew The time just flew, and how are you? Strange we should meet here Seeing off our friends It's hard to draw the line between Beginnings and ends Oh, Mary, Mary, must you go so soon? We must be a sight to see Salon and Saloon I'll look you up soon Maybe sing you a tune

Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, just you and I. A one way ticket to ecstasy, Away on down, just follow me. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, now we can catch the wind. Travelin' light, just let your mind pretend. We can go to paradise, Maybe once, maybe twice. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light is the only way to fly. Travelin' light, just you and I. We can go to paradise, Maybe once, maybe twice. Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
