Gary, Indiana 1959 - Dave Alvin[00:00:00]

I'm old weak and grey and i'm running out of time[00:00:10]

Yeah but you should have seen me brother[00:00:17]

When i was young and in my prime[00:00:20]

Back in gary indiana in 1959[00:00:25]

I was a steel working man with 2 kids and loving wife[00:00:33]

And the union was strong smokestacks burning day and night[00:00:41]

Back in gary indiana in 1959[00:00:49]

But then the accountants and lawyers and bosses at u s steel[00:00:57]

Sent down the word we had to take their rotten deal[00:01:01]

But from birmingham to pueblo oakland to allentown[00:01:05]

The workers got together and we shut the big boys down[00:01:09]

The president and supreme court tried to force us off the line[00:01:13]

Back in gary indiana in 1959[00:01:20]

The 59 years disappeared in the blink of an eye[00:01:52]

And i feel like a stranger in world that isn't mine[00:01:56]

My dear wife died my kids all moved away[00:02:00]

Cause there's nothing round here to make them want to stay[00:02:04]

Cause the factories are in ruins decent jobs are hard to find[00:02:08]

And you can't get ahead no matter how hard you try[00:02:12]

Cause the big boys make the rules tough luck for everyone else[00:02:15]

And out on the streets brother it's every man for himself[00:02:19]

I still remember when we marched side by side[00:02:24]

Back in gary indiana in 1959[00:02:31]

Don't bury my body brother when it's my time to die[00:03:26]

Just throw me in that smelter let my ashes fly[00:03:34]

Back home to gary indiana in 1959[00:03:41]

Back to gary indiana in 1959[00:03:49]
