Intro

(mute the strings and strum the rhythm)

We walk up the paths of the banks of the mighty Susquehanna

 With our feet made muddy by your tributaries

 That trickle their way to the Chesapeake

 It's like we follow I-83 down to the harbor cities

Strip malls and the tar-mac

People swirling and teaming

It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blight

I grew up near Kentucky's Mt. Zion Road

All that was there was some old cemetary

 I wanted nothing more than to be able to walk to the store

 Now I don't live there but there's too many stores

 Some apartments and a Sunoco

 And I wonder what did they do with the bodies?

 And I wonder what did they do with the bodies?

Oh!

Susquehanna (x4)

 And I miss that place behind my house where I

Hiked and climbed and played

 Where I'd ditch this noisy century or just

Hid out from the decade

 M-I homes thought it could stand to be updated

 Forced it all into a grid until it looks like the funny pages

With every trace of light that seems confined within a frame

 The faces move from day to day but the strips all look the same

 And the punchlines are resoundingly unfunny

 For those trapped in this architecture of easy money

 And I feel like this all come to no good

 This kids who populate these cul-de-sacs will never know what stood

 Beneath their cookie-cutter houses, fields and streams and woods

 They'll sit in cars and wait for mom to drive them

Out of this boring neighborhood

Oh!

Susquehanna (x4)

 And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies? (x2)
