Well they say it starts somewhere up north in the mountains above the fields
They moved it around til it flows through the town just a channel of asphalt and steel
The city's green but the rainbirds are running and the river is parched
And under the street beats the heart of a desert from another time gone by
How I wish I had seen you then
With your long green grass and your silver bend
Oh concrete river
All I've ever known
Rolling through all my dreams
I can see you cool and clean
Spirit so strong and deep
Won't you carry me
Won't you carry me home
Now the bridges cross every mile or two
And the kids jump the barb wire fence
Just looking for something to do
At night the powerlines crackle and buzz
You can hear the sirens moan
The water's so slow it moves like blood
Through the heart and the soul and the bone
How I wish I had seen you then
When you ran so free to the valley's end
Oh concrete river
All I've ever known
Rolling through all my dreams
I can see you cool and clean
Spirit so strong and deep
Won't you carry me
Won't you carry me home
It's just a dry bed most of the time
Floods every decade or so
Carries a kid off and a couple of cars
Raging out of control
Oh baby let's go down to the river tonight
Bring your radio and we'll dance beneath the mercury lights
Cause life is short and hard as a stone
And oh the time shoots by
I wanna live it as far as my soul can go
and wake up before I die
Oh concrete river
Oh concrete river
Well it starts in the mountains above the fields
And it rolls through town just a channel of steel
Bring your radio we're gonna dance tonight
Fall in love beneath the mercury light
Sometime I think that life is as hard as that river that runs thorough my backyard
(Oh concrete river)
Sometime I think that life is as hard as that river that runs through my backyard
