Resurrection Lyrics - Speed Of Life - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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 a 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, 'round here 

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
