Ten thousand bombers hit the Steel River
And many died to keep her running free
And she survived but now she's gone forever
Her burning heart is just a memory,
And I ran away from life on Steel River
Luck or not, I gladly took the break
The odds were low, the chances nearly zero
But a chance it was, that I had to take...
Say goodbye, Steel River
They say its good to see them back again
I know it hurts to see what really happened,
I know one salmon, aint no good to them
They were born and raised to
Serve their steel mother
It was all they taught and all they ever knew,
And they believed they would
Keep their children
Even though, not a single word was true!
Say goodbye, wave goodbye
Steel River
