Lyrics:

This is a song about rivers
And a canyon
Where I like to go
While I still have the time

When rivers ran blue up on the mountain
And rivers ran green out on the plain
When the river ran red in Glenwood Canyon
It was only a matter of time

Then rivers ran gold up on the mountain
And rivers ran wild out on the plain
And the river ran free through Glenwood Canyon
And it was only a matter of time

And the miners came and they took
The gold and the people staked a claim
And the builders came and they made
A dam and the people tamed the plains
And the 'dozers came and they built a road
And the people found a way
Through Glenwood Canyon

Now rivers run grey up on the mountain
And rivers run brown out on the plain
And the river runs red through Glenwood Canyon
But it's only a matter of time
