Going To The Sun

GOING TO THE SUN

INTRO Gonna build a road Going to the Sun

VERSE A Pack up your horses men move them up the hill
She’ll take a ton of powder and a hundred strong willed
But don’t look up and tell us there’s no place to build a road
‘Cause we’ll bury disbelievers when that powder blows

CHORUS We’re gonna build a road Going to the Sun
We’re gonna move mountains one by one
It may take a lifetime Lord but when the work is done
We’re gonna have a road Going to the Sun

VERSE A Now it’s silver dollar wages plus your room and board
You won’t get rich but will receive good standing with the Lord
So swing your hammer steady and be faithful to the task
‘Cause if we want to get to heaven boys we must cross Logan Pass

CHORUS (Repeat)

VERSE A A million years of limestone must me moved by hand
Wide enough along sheer cliff for thirty men to stand
From St. Mary’s to Lake McDonald along the Garden Wall
Where once only a few could go - will now be shared by all

CHORUS (Repeat)

VERSE A When that faithful day comes and eastside meets the west
We’ll gather on the great divide and weary bones will rest
And we’ll smoke the pipe of peace and we’ll honor all the ones
Who dared to dream the dream of Going to the Sun

CHORUS (Repeat)
