The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - The Resurrection lyrics

I walked the streets of this little town Late last night when it all shut down Feelin' stuck between lost and found and nowhere Using my memory for a map I went lookin' for a train on the torn up track Where the weary conductor just turned his back but he's still there Waitin for the resurrection Fire from the ashes and the tears The resurrection You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here Well it's hard to believe I'm back again Lookin' up old lovers and long lost friends Just to reminisce like the veterans and survivors I heard Reverend Bill with the kind old face Said he got little stale and he's been replaced Still we all bowed our heads when he said Grace at the diner Waitin for the resurrection Fire from the ashes and the tears The resurrection You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here Well the engine dies and the main line fails Surely the heart and the soul prevails Like the wild flowers grow between the rails in the summer Oh, the resurrection Fire from the ashes and the tears The resurrection You know dreams die hard Dreams die hard Dreams die hard around here Oh, the resurrection Oh, the resurrection I walked the streets of this little town Late last night when it all shut down When it all shut down
