I met her down at Lake Moananui
She was a waitress, I worked the mill
Hauling timber up Kinleith Road
Then I turn around, another load to fill

I asked her Katie won't you take my hand
We walked together up Colsons Hill
And in the moon glow, time stood still

I'm 22 miles to Tokoroa
I can't wait to get back and show her
That I love her so, in the town I know

I married Katie, lord the times were tough
Worked double shifts just to make enough
Three kids a mortgage and a broke down truck
But we'd get by with a little luck

In the morning before we'd say goodbye
I'd watch the sun rising in her eyes
Drive 12 hours then i'd turn around
To my love, to my town

I'm 22 miles to Tokoroa
I can't wait to get back and show her
That I love her so
In the town I know
In the town I know

Back in '86 the word went round
Redundancy came and shook the town
Men in suits stealing jobs away
But not the pride away
We're born and raised, oh

Na na na na na, na na na na, nah, nah
Na na na na na, na na na na, nah, nah
Na na na na na, na na na na, nah, nah
Na na na na na, na na na na, nah, nah

So many years since I left that mill
We're growing old and Katie's with me still
The pie cart's gone and the kids left home
But they always come back again

And now they have their own families
They bring their whanau around
I'm sitting back in my rocking chair
Telling stories about our town

I'm 22 miles from Tokoroa
I can't wait to get back and show her
That I love her so, in the town
I'm 22 miles from Tokoroa
I can't wait to get back and show her
That I love her so, in the town I know
In the town I know
Mmm I love her so
In the town I know
Mmm I love her so
