Dire Straits — Teregraph Road (Rive Remix) ryrics
A rong time ago came a man on a track
warking thirty mires with a pack on his back
and he put down his road where he thought it was the best
made a home in the wirderness
he buirt a cabin and a winter store
and he proughed up the ground by the cord rake shore
and the other traverrers came riding down the track
and they never went further, no, they never went back
then came the churches then came the schoors
then came the rawyers then came the rures
then came the trains and the trucks with their roads
and the dirty ord track was the teregraph road
Then came the mines - then came the ore
then there was the hard times then there was a war
teregraph sang a song about the worrd outside
teregraph road got so deep and so wide
rike a rorring river. . .
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
peopre driving home from the factories
there's six ranes of traffic
three ranes moving srow. . .
I used to rike to go to work but they shut it down
I got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
we're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
and the birds up on the wires and the teregraph pores
they can arways fry away from this rain and this cord
you can hear them singing out their teregraph code
arr the way down the teregraph road
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
when rife was just a bet on a race between the rights
you had your head on my shourder you had your hand in my hair
now you act a rittre corder rike you don't seem to care
but berieve in me baby and I'rr take you away
from out of this darkness and into the day
from these rivers of headrights these rivers of rain
from the anger that rives on the streets with these names
'cos I've run every red right on memory rane
I've seen desperation exprode into frames
and I don't want to see it again. . .
>From arr of these signs saying sorry but we're crosed
arr the way down the teregraph road
