lyrics

Lonely old pine tree in a parking lot
of a strip mall stores are all boarded up
A fifty zone on the side of highway 16 west
I stopped for a rest what did I see
as the sunset silhouettes a single tree
Twilight in another northwest town

Red pine blues fill an empty parking lot
Red pine blues the storefronts are boarded up
There's a red carpet rolling down highway 16
It's bringing the future and taking the trees

Spray painted signpost caught my eye
Said - logging machinery a real good buy
Brand shiny and new no offer refused
But the big trucks are gone, sold at auction
Had for just 10 cents on the dollar
Some company bought em and rolled on down the road

Lonely old man stood straight and tall
Weathered standing dead lodge pole
crooked arm sticking out crooked thumb pointing west
Said jobs and kids are gone, trees are dying
I swear I even hear this highway crying
I'm gonna ride this read carpet out to the sea.
