Welding Burns - Slaid Cleaves[00:00:00]
My father was a welder[00:00:12]
Down at the navy yard[00:00:15]
Up on the North Atlantic[00:00:17]
Where the winters come down har[00:00:20]
A union job some overtime[00:00:23]
Nobody would complain[00:00:26]
He went to work with a humble pride[00:00:29]
Through the snow and rain[00:00:32]
Some things you're born to[00:00:35]
Some things you gotta learn[00:00:37]
My father built his world on bone [00:00:41]
Muscle and blood and welding burns[00:00:44]
After work he did some drinking[00:00:52]
He'd get a little rough[00:00:55]
Just to take the edges off[00:00:58]
But he never got enough[00:01:00]
He'd hang his coat up by the door[00:01:04]
And light a cigarette[00:01:06]
Mama'd take his supper out[00:01:09]
Turn off the TV set[00:01:12]
Some things you're born to[00:01:15]
Some things you gotta learn[00:01:18]
My father built his world on bone [00:01:21]
Muscle and blood and welding burns[00:01:24]
I can see em down at Leigh's Mills Pond[00:01:30]
With the August sun warming her brown skin[00:01:32]
He promised he'd take her away[00:01:39]
But I think he knew [00:01:41]
Even way back then way back then[00:01:43]
Mama said They're hiring no need to graduate[00:02:10]
Maybe your dad could make a call to the 788 [00:02:16]
I always thought I'd get away[00:02:22]
I thought I could rise above[00:02:24]
I don't remember anymore[00:02:28]
What I was dreaming of[00:02:30]
Some things you're born to[00:02:33]
Some things you better learn[00:02:36]
My father was born bone [00:02:39]
Muscle and blood and welding burns[00:02:41]
Some things you're born to[00:02:45]
Some things you gotta learn[00:02:47]
My father built his world on bone [00:02:51]
Muscle and blood and welding burns[00:02:54]
