Nine Steps Down Lyrics - The Band Of Heathens - The Band Of Heathens

Nine steps down on a ten story ride 

One part love and two parts pride 

Three tons of steel with four miles to go 

Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico 

Rigged on point, the top of the tower 

Watch for those waves they'll be rising fast 

The call to the driller down on the shore 

Derrickhand you better keep pumping that gas 

No time to think of the girls in their cotton 

Dresses they wear in the early springtime 

Memories here they're all long forgotten 

Nine steps down on a ten story ride 

Nine steps down on a ten story ride

Now all of the boys thought you were a beauty 

My motivation was a little less kind 

Come with me I got something to show you 

Out past the trees where the river runs wild 

My oh my but you were more than I bargained 

For one time at the five and dime 

Spending all my nickels and quarters 

One part love and two parts pride 

One part love and two parts pride 

You put the hammer on down, we might just make it 

Watch your eyes from drifting off the road 

Won't you drink 'em on down five for a dollar 

Get 'em to the man with the weekly load 

The rubber on the tires burning like a matchstick 

Blacklist heart on a long ride home 

Ain't no god just a lifetime of Sundays 

Three tons of steel and four miles to go 

Three tons of steel and four miles to go

Nine steps down on a ten story ride 

One part love and two parts pride
