Get out on the two-lane Route 60
Head south like you're going to Jamestown
On the right's a road line with big ole pine trees
Just past 83 & the Conti Bros Dairy cows
Across the street from an old red crooked barn
There is a jewel hidden from the world
There's a cool-wonder 50-acre lake with its own island
Shining like an iridescent pearl
CHORUS:
That's our hometown's reservoir
Built circa Second World War
Served a lot of living creatures in its time
Spring-fed fresh clear water
Home to deer, bear, osprey n' otter
Quenched our thirst, kept us nourished and alive
It's where daddies explain nature
Changin' winds and the wood's behavior
And take the time to talk and teach
Their sons and daughters
It's where sacred ground
Meets holy water
TAG:
Our dad's n' grandads built the dam and spillway
With vision to know freshwater was our lifeblood
Worked like beavers to build a long and healthy mainstay
Maybe that was the inspiration for the Beaver Club (Heh-heh)
And Lake Erie if by chance you're listening
Please don't take this personally
We've got our own special gift to care for
It's taken care of us for a century
CHORUS REPEAT:
BRIDGE:
And hey there politicians
Please excuse our bitchin'
We don't mind the tax dollars we're payin'
Just wanna put our two cents in
CHORUS REPEAT:
BREAKDOWN FIRST HALF OF CHORUS
TAG 2X: IT'S WHERE SACRED GROUND MEETS HOLY WATER
