Welding Burns

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]
