| | | Artist: | Bruce Springsteen |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Working On The Highway | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 241 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 of 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
CHORUS:
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 ther and she looked straight
back
CHORUS:
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 stright away
I wake up every morning
to the work bell clang
Me and the warden go swinging on the Charlotte County road
gang
CHORUS:
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
