Wherever I go, whatever I do
 There'll always be a smile that I knew
 Upon the grey
 How it lit the sky
 As we dreamed our dreams
 And let the young days go by
 But [bad word] a time
 We used to say
 We'd both have to part
 Just to get away
 But the reasons were the same for me and you
 To try to kick away the fear we knew

 How the years went by
 Too [bad word] fast it seems
 As we followed through
 Our young and desperate dreams
 You know me so well and I know you
 And to the world it seems we both got through
 But only you and me know
 What is really [bad word] 
 The only thing we never got to do
 Kick away
 Those steel river blues

 You know me so well and I know you
 And to the world it seems we both got through
 But only you and me know what is really [bad word] 
 The only thing we never got to do was
 Kick away
 Those steel river blues
