Lost on the Metro - Ramey Road

There's a secret cross the way
Buried fields and flooded graves
And cedar trees swayin' in the breeze
Marking time on the ridgeline
They're standin' still 'neath the sky
Watchin' pickup trucks roll by

Blood runs through the water deep
And these children they cannot sleep
The river bears a heavy load
For blood runs over Ramey Road

Lift the houses turn the stones
Gather those we left alone
Seek in every basement wall
Find the bones and free 'em all
Take 'em now up those steps
Bring 'em back so they can rest

Blood runs through the water deep
And these mothers they cannot sleep
The river bears a heavy load
For bones lie under Ramey Road

Grassy Fields o'er broken backs
Restless souls under railroad tracks
Dig em up and bring em home
Gather up their scattered bones

Blood runs through the water deep
And these fathers they cannot sleep
The river bears a heavy load
For blood runs over Ramey Road
Blood runs over Ramey Road
