“cash sings about a
stream that comes from most likely the rocky mountains and how it is clear and
blue, till it passes through the city. At this point the water is no longer
clear because of the people walking by and polluting the stream. Sighs of pollution
are describe such as dead fish washing up on the shore. Things are not what
they use to be, the air is dirty and acid rain something they never heard of
before till then. “
Interesting thing is Mr. Johnny cash was a religious man and
he wanted to start a career from it but god gave it to him the hard way. His first
song was not religious but somewhat more spiritual. Mr.Cash clearly knew some
things about things that were going on in the 1970’s. this song is evidence of
a word spread out from a man of faith and he took his guitar and word of the
people to spread the word along with them to make a change
