lyrics

I remember Morenci,
a town of miners and lust
where tombstones and shanties
fade from acid and dust

Now if mountains were for raping,
well God must be well pleased
‘cause every man in town
took his turn between her knees

Don’t give up on us now
Don’t give up on us now
Don’t give up, on us now

Now copper isn’t bad,
nor the gold around our necks
but if we left it in the rock
maybe we’d mine our hearts instead

But who am I to know
how or why the earth is spun
Do we kill ourselves to save ourselves
or feed until there’s none

Don’t give up on us now
Don’t give up on us now
Don’t give up
Don’t give up on us now

A hundred miles north
next to red-rock canyon walls,
in a dusty Winnebago
an old man, his wife and dog

He told me of his life
in the mine since forty-three
how he learned to pray and raise a child
how copper set him free

Don’t give up on us now
Don’t give up on us now
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up on us now
