Joe works at the steel mill. Works damn near every day. Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops the kids at school along the way. (Kids at school along the way).
Oh, I've heard about the streets of gold. Since I was just a kid. Stories that my grandpa told. The truths that he unhid. Preacher man sang a song of love.
They say love is blind. I know that still rings true. Cause I couldn't see it comin'. But when it landed I sure knew. Well it knocked me to my knees. It hit me like a train.
Oh how I love you. And I always will. Forever and ever. Till times standin still. . Know that your with me. Like the air that I breathe. And I'll be beside you.
The rain keeps fallin' down. The world keeps on spinnin' 'round. The grass grows and the sky's still just as blue. Our address still has your name. But nothing out there feels the same.
Yeah you know. Time sure does fly by. It just goes on and on and on. One day you look up. Its all gone. Tomorrow's yesterday. . Once there was this working man.
Well I sure miss ole Waylon. And Paychecks paid his dues. Chet Adkins on that red guitar. And Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes. Well ya just don't hear ole Hank that much.
Left for work this mornin'. without any warnin'. that little tiny gage said it's that time. so I started lookin'. but I just kept on lookin'. as I read the prices there upon those signs.
