In the heat of the day, down in |
|
Mobile, Alabama |
|
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer |
|
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes |
|
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues |
|
Hot and wasted |
|
Lord sweatin' in the sun [?] 'till my work is all done |
|
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low |
|
I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow |
|
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track |
|
Drivin' in a |
|
Chevy till my foreman get back |
|
Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout |
|
There's a non-stop train comin' two miles out |
|
Everybody jumpin' and a screaming around |
|
Tryin to get the line an get the teepee down |
|
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane |
|
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train |
|
Here come the engineer honk his horn |
|
He got a train you got to let it roll on |
|
Let it rock |
|
All night long |
