Corktown Bricks Lyrics

Oh Corktown bricks, you've treated us well

Each course stood strong to it all

I heard they're taking you out one by one

I guess it's goodbye and so long

Through many long nights and many long years

The city's rise and it's fall

Once you were the latest and best to be used

Now just a relic to be viewed

Oh don't you know, when I heard what they'll do

Removed and replaced by the new

I hung my head and fought back a tear

And said Thank you, for being here

Oh Corktown bricks, you've treated us well

Each course stood strong to it all

I heard they're taking you out one by one

I guess it's goodbye and so long

Remember the weight of that first motor car

Fresh off the line from piquette

You saluted soldiers as they made their way

To trains taking off for the war

Looking on with remorse, as the city she burned

Hoping like hell we'd find peace

Yet joy you'd still see, in those stadium seats

The last time we'd win was with you

Oh Corktown bricks, you've treated us well

Each course stood strong to it all

I heard they're taking you out one by one

I guess it's goodbye and so long

Oh brick by brick, they'll haul you away

Sold like a marker for a grave

Just like the old folks, we used to know well

I'll miss you and I think I always will

Oh Corktown bricks, you've treated us well

Each course stood strong to it all

I heard they're taking you out one by one

I guess it's goodbye and so long
