Concrete And Clay Lyrics
Concrete And Clay
By Kenny Rich
[Intro]
All the memories I had
They tried to take them away
So I locked them inside
And deep inside me they'll stay
[Verse 1]
I know that I've been down this street before
Although nothing looks the same any more
This is where I lived And as a child I played
And it's hard to believe
That all that's left is a world of concrete and clay
[Verse 2]
The parks and the playgrounds that we once knew
Buildings they cover the woods where the trees once grew
All the memories I had They tried to take them away
So I've locked them inside
And deep inside me they'll stay
[Bridge]
With progress moving oh so fast
I should have known that beauty just couldn't last
[Verse 3]
Concrete it covers the world from sea to sea
And mother nature is becoming obsolete
But What about our children Where will they play
When all that we've left them
Is a cold grey world of concrete and clay
Whoa, whoa
[Guitar Outro]
