|
Cut my teeth in |
|
Kentucky, dynamitin' coal, |
|
Turned sixteen on a tanker, haulin' crude from |
|
Mexico, Worked my way up to |
|
Washington, made the timber fall, |
|
Had a card in every union and |
|
I never missed a call, |
|
Put me on the time clock, there ain't nothin' |
|
I can't do, |
|
How can you tell me there's no room on the crew |
|
Chorus: There's no room on the crew, |
|
Hell , I've heard that line before, yeah, |
|
I've heard it before, |
|
Tell you what |
|
I'm gonna do to prove you can use one more, |
|
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes, |
|
Then you can tell me there's no room on the crew |
|
Picked Tennessee tobacco till the hard times ran me out, |
|
Rolled steel up in |
|
Gary, they closed that big mill down, |
|
I did my best in |
|
Detroit city, they cut production back, |
|
Worked hard on the seaboard, for the railroad laying track, |
|
I gotta feed my family, there ain't nothin' |
|
I wont do, |
|
How can you tell me there's no room on the crew |
|
Chorus: There's no room on the crew, |
|
I've heard that line before, |
|
I've heard it before, |
|
Tell you what |
|
I'm gonna do to prove you can use one more, |
|
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes, |
|
Then you can tell me there's no room on the crew |
|
Chorus: There's no room on the crew, |
|
I've heard that line before, oh before, |
|
Tell you what |
|
I'm gonna do to prove you can use one more, |
|
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes, |
|
Then you can tell me there's no room on the crew, |
|
Then you can tell me... there's no room on the crew |
