Working On The Highway

Текст песни Bruce Springsteen - Working On The Highway <br/> Friday night&#039;s pay night guys fresh out of work<br />Talking about the weekend scrubbing off the dirt<br />Some heading home to their families some looking to get hurt<br />Some going down to Stovell wearing trouble on their shirts<br /><br />I work for the county out on 95<br />All day I hold a red flag and watch the traffic pass me by<br />( )<br />In my head I keep a picture of a pretty little miss<br />Someday mister I&#039;m gonna lead a better life than this<br /><br />Working on the highway laying down the blacktop<br />Working on the highway all day long I don&#039;t stop<br />Working on the highway blasting through the bedrock<br />Working on the highway, working on the highway<br /><br />I met her at a dance down at the union hall<br />She was standing with her brothers back up against the wall<br />Sometimes we&#039;d go walking down the union tracks<br />One day I looked straight at her and she looked straight back<br /><br />Working on the highway...<br /><br />I saved up my money and I put it all away<br />I went to see her daddy but we didn&#039;t have much to say<br />&quot;Son can&#039;t you see that she&#039;s just a little girl<br />She don&#039;t know nothing about this cruel cruel world&quot;<br /><br />We lit out down to Florida we got along all right<br />One day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black and white<br />The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day<br />And the judge got mad and he put me straight away<br />I wake up every morning to the work bell clang<br />Me and the warden go swinging on the Charlotte County road gang<br /><br />Working on the highway...<br />
