Bad Day at Sheep Creek

Breaking out of home
Winter's been so long
Cabin fever building up inside
Grab the camping gear
Chilly morning air
Spring of nineteen sixty-five

Climbing up the road
Canyon walls are gold
All the green is finally peeking through
Pitch the tent and then
Summer can begin
Sky is alive and so blue

Chorus:
But it's trouble for Sheep Creek
The winds are rushing in
Lightning hits and thunder cracks
That you'll never see again
Can't stop the rain from pouring
The river is raging tall
Bad day at Sheep Creek
When seven lost it all

Bundled up so tight
Settled for the night
They heard the mountain moan an awful sound
Never stood a chance
Dam could not hold back
Forty feet of wreckage crashing down

Chorus:
Well there’s trouble in Sheep Creek
The winds are rushing in
Lightning hits and thunder cracks
That you'll never see again
Can't stop the rain from pouring
The river is raging tall
Bad day at Sheep Creek
When seven lost it all

One rock stands alone
Untouched by the storm
Bears the names, those lost at the scene
Only six were found
From that cruel ground
Taken in the night from their dreams

Chorus

Gone but not forgotten
Hear their silent call
Bad day at Sheep Creek
When seven lost it all
