Coming Of The Roads Lyrics - Coal - Kathy Mattea

Now that our mountain is growing 

With people hungry for wealth 

How come it's you that's a going 

And I'm left all alone by myself? 

 

We used to hunt the cool caverns 

Deep in our forest of green 

Then came the road and the taverns 

And you found a new love it seems 

 

Once I had you and the wild wood 

Now it's just dusty roads 

And I can't help but blamin' your goin' 

On the coming, the coming of the roads 

 

Look how they've cut all to pieces 

Our ancient redwood and oak 

And the hillsides are stained with the greases 

That burned up the heavens with smoke 

 

You used to curse the bold crewmen 

Who stripped our earth of its ore 

Now you've changed and you've gone over to them 

And you've learned to love what you hated before 

 

Once I thanked God for our treasure 

Now like rust it corrodes 

And I can't help but blamin' your goin' 

On the coming, the coming of the roads 

 

Once I thanked God for our treasure 

Now like rust it corrodes 

And I can't help but blamin' your goin' 

On the coming, the coming of the roads 

No, I can't help but blamin' your goin' 

On the coming, coming of the roads
