Working On the Highway 歌詞
Working On the Highway - The Hit Co.
Friday night's pay night guys
Fresh out of work
Talking about the weekend
Scrubbing off the dirt
Some heading home to their
Families some looking to get hurt
Some going down to Stovell
Wearing trouble on their shirts
I work for the county out on 95
All day I hold a red flag
And watch the traffic pass me by
In my head I keep a picture of
A pretty little miss
Someday mister I'm gonna
Lead a better life than this
Working on the highway
Laying down the blacktop
Working on the highway
All day long I don't stop
Working on the highway
Blasting through the bedrock
Working on the highway
Working on the highway
I met her at a dance down at the union hall
She was standing with her brothers
Back up against the wall
Sometimes we'd go walking
Down the union tracks
One day I looked straight at her
And she looked straight back
Working on the highway
Laying down the blacktop
Working on the highway
All day long I don't stop
Working on the highway
Blasting through the bedrock
Working on the highway
Working on the highway
I saved up my money
And I put it all away
I went to see her daddy
But we didn't have much to say
Son can't you see that she's just a little girl
She don't know nothing
About this cruel cruel world
We lit out down to Florida
We got along all right
One day her brothers came and got her
And they took me in a black and white
The prosecutor kept the promise
That he made on that day
And the judge got mad
And he put me straight away
I wake up every morning
To the work bell clang
Me and the warden go swinging on
The Charlotte County road gang
Working on the highway
Laying down the blacktop
Working on the highway
All day long I don't stop
Working on the highway
Blasting through the bedrock
Working on the highway
Working on the highway
Working on the highway
Laying down the blacktop
Working on the highway
All day long I don't stop
Working on the highway
Blasting through the bedrock
Working on the highway
Working on the highway
