Once I built a railroad... made it run. Made it race against time. Once I built a railroad... now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime. . Once I built a tower... to the sun.
They used to tell me I was building a dream. And so I followed the mob. When there was earth to plow or guns to bear. I was always there right on the job.
Nobody gave me mention. till they saw me with you,. Paid me a bit of attention. till the saw me with you;. Suddenly strange people walked up to me,. Pretending they knew me,.
