I was born and raised on steel river
   I see it all like it was yesterday
   The ships and bridges they were all delivered
   From Sydney Harbour to the 'Cisco Bay
  
   And I met my love down on the steel river
   We served our dreams and spent our childhood days
   In rainy streets we'd kiss away the shiver
   And hide from fear inside the latest craze
  
   Dancing to Motown
   Making love with a Carole King record playing
   And, oh, how I loved you
   Say goodbye
  
   Ten thousand bombers hit the steel river
   And many died to keep her running free
   And she survived but now she's gone forever
   Her burning heart is just a memory
  
   And I ran away from life on steel river
   Luck or not, I gladly took the break
   The odds were low, the chances nearly zero
   But a chance it was that I had to take
  
   Say goodbye, steel river
  
   They say that salmon swim in steel river
   They say it's good to see them back again
   I know it hurts to see what really happened
   I know one salmon, ain't no good to them
  
   They were born and raised to serve their steel mother
   It was all they taught and all they ever knew
   And they believed that she would keep her children
   Even though, not a single word was true
  
   Say goodbye, wave goodbye
   Steel river
