Song Lyrics
working on the highway
The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day, working on the highway
Working on the highway, sometimes we d go walking down the union tracks Working, working on the highway
gonna lead a better life than this
Working on the highway, working on the highway
Gonna lead a better life than this, one day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black and white, talking bout the weekend
Blasting through the bedrock, blasting through the bedrock
Working on the highway, the prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day
Working on the highway, working on the highway
Working on the highway, i wake up every morning to the work bell clang
Me and the warden go swinging on the charlotte county road gang, some looking to get hurt, we got along alright
I met her at a dance down at the union hall, working on the highway
Working on the highway, one day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black and white
Laying down the blacktop, guys fresh out of work
And the judge got mad and he put me straight away, blasting through the bedrock
gonna lead a better life than this
working on the highway
Working on the highway, working on the highway, guys fresh out of work
blasting through the bedrock
All day long i don t stop, some heading home to their families
blasting through the bedrock
Back up against the wall, one day i looked straight at her and she looked straight back, back up against the wall
All day long i don t stop, i went to see her daddy but we didn t have much to say
scrubbing off the dirt
We lit out down to florida, guys fresh out of work, all day long i don t stop
I work for the county out on 95, laying down the blacktop
Working on the highway, gonna lead a better life than this
Working on the highway, working on the highway, friday night s pay night
Working on the highway, back up against the wall
working on the highway
