[ Featuring Steel ]
A breeze touches a Sunday afternoon
A freckled-face boy serves pie with a spoon
They'll be closing up real soon
At the Blue Earth River
Flowing beneath my shoes
There's a young girl playing on a swing
Dad says stop as he pulls on the rings
She doesn't want to leave
She cries and she chants
At the Blue Earth River heaven's here in the flesh
I don't have a thought of any depth
I'm just thinking of one more step
To the Blue Earth River where my heart resurrects
There's a jukebox with only old tunes
A piano in the corner, Buddy playing Blue Moon
His heart is here
Not just passing through
At the Blue Earth River
I'm listening to the truth
I'm sitting in the grass soaking the sun's day glow
Letting the day pass, nothing I need to know
I watch our boy kick up sand
At the Blue Earth River he'll grown up to be a man
I worked in the city for wages unkept
I didn't miss a thing when I left
To the Blue Earth River where my heart resurrects
I came here for the lost and found
Blue Earth River opened its mouth
It said here's where you put your pin
At the Blue Earth River a new life begins
At the Blue Earth River a new life begins
