[Verse]
It took twelve good men
To build this road
But it would take an unknown number
To say where it's going
There's a small hotel
Where I used to go
But it would not help you
'Cause they don't want me there no more
[Verse]
Well, there were two men a-comin'
Just as the sun was gone
And one he wore an arm band
To show what side he's on
I saw behind their friendly greeting
Their eyes were so sad
And when they could not tell me why
It must have really hurt them bad
[Bridge]
Well, I went to sea, a sailor
Just acting out his part
I went to see a broker
He almost broke my heart
[Verse]
Oh I was thirsty, needed water
But I found no stream
There'd been a killing in the city
So all the streets were clean
Now just look at that crazy woman
Acting like she's a man
Her running imagination
Is doing all it can
