Friday night's pay night guys fresh out of work[00:00:07]
Talking about the weekend scrubbing off the dirt[00:00:12]
Some heading home to their families some looking to get hurt[00:00:17]
Some going down to Stovell wearing trouble on their shirts[00:00:22]
I work for the county out on 95[00:00:28]
All day I hold a red flag and watch the traffic pass me by[00:00:32]
In my head I keep a picture of a pretty little miss[00:00:37]
Someday mister I'm gonna lead a better life than this[00:00:43]
(CHORUS) Working on the highway laying down the blacktop[00:00:46]
Working on the highway all day long I don't stop[00:00:51]
Working on the highway blasting through the bedrock[00:00:53]
Working on the highway working on the highway[00:00:54]
I met her at a dance down at the union hall[00:01:07]
She was standing with her brothers back up against the wall[00:01:11]
Sometimes we'd go walking down the union tracks[00:01:17]
One day I looked straight at her and she looked straight back[00:01:22]
So I'm [00:01:25]
(REPEAT CHORUS)[00:01:28]
I saved up my money and I put it all away[00:01:47]
I went to see her daddy but we didn't have much to say[00:01:49]
"Son can't you see that she's just a little girl[00:01:52]
She don't know nothing about this cruel cruel world"[00:01:54]
We lit out down to Florida we got along all right[00:02:00]
One day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black-and-white[00:02:05]
The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day[00:02:10]
And the judge got mad and he put me straight away[00:02:15]
I wake up every morning to the work bell clang[00:02:21]
Me and the warden go swinging on the Charlotte County road gang[00:02:26]
I'm[00:02:29]
