《Working on the Highway》歌词

[00:00:07] Friday night's pay night guys fresh out of work

[00:00:12] Talking about the weekend scrubbing off the dirt

[00:00:17] Some heading home to their families some looking to get hurt

[00:00:22] Some going down to Stovell wearing trouble on their shirts

[00:00:28] I work for the county out on 95

[00:00:32] All day I hold a red flag and watch the traffic pass me by

[00:00:37] In my head I keep a picture of a pretty little miss

[00:00:43] Someday mister I'm gonna lead a better life than this

[00:00:46] (CHORUS) Working on the highway laying down the blacktop

[00:00:51] Working on the highway all day long I don't stop

[00:00:53] Working on the highway blasting through the bedrock

[00:00:54] Working on the highway working on the highway

[00:01:11] She was standing with her brothers back up against the wall

[00:01:22] One day I looked straight at her and she looked straight back

[00:01:25] So I'm

[00:01:28] (REPEAT CHORUS)

[00:01:47] I saved up my money and I put it all away

[00:01:49] I went to see her daddy but we didn't have much to say

[00:01:52] "Son can't you see that she's just a little girl

[00:01:54] She don't know nothing about this cruel cruel world"

[00:02:00] We lit out down to Florida we got along all right

[00:02:05] One day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black-and-white

[00:02:10] The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day

[00:02:15] And the judge got mad and he put me straight away

[00:02:21] I wake up every morning to the work bell clang

[00:02:26] Me and the warden go swinging on the Charlotte County road gang

[00:02:29] I'm
