Long ago This Road

[Verse] Long ago we walked this way To see the school each day Horse and cart with toil and game In the cold and in the rain [Verse 2] Boys and girls with shoes so worn Early mornings 'fore the dawn Hiking trails through fields of green In those days it was a scene [Chorus] Now it's easy roads so clear With cars and bikes that bring us near From long days of travel hard Now we glide across the yard [Verse 3] No more horses 'cross the town No more worn-out shoes of brown Engines hum and wheels they spin Through the streets we ride with grin [Verse 4] Memories of days so past Stories of a time so vast From the fields and dusty lanes Now we fly like silver trains [Bridge] Times have changed yet hearts remain Thinking of the hills and pain Songs we sang to pass the time In the rhythm of the climb
