Holy Cross Lyrics - Old 97's

Holy Cross by The Old 97's 

he worked for 37 years 

driving trucks 

not shifting gears 

he never got it in his head 

to settle down 

he never wed 

he liked the river 

how it flowed 

unlike a breaker 

never to explode 

it had no wires running it 

it just went on and on and on 

until the ocean got to big 

holy cross 

electric association 

it's more than a job 

it's more like a damnation 

it was my life 

now it's my loss 

holy cross 

it was a honey of a night 

he met his maker 

he saw the light 

the car was passing on a curve 

never slowed down 

never swerved 

and in the hot glare of the lamps 

he had regrets 

he never learned to dance 

there was no angel at his side 

if there was a purpose 

it became hopeless when he died 

holy cross 

electric association 

it's more than a job 

it's more like a damnation 

well it was my life 

now it's my loss 

holy cross x3
