Steelworks Lyrics

The rain was falling

As we turned off the old highway

I saw the steelworks smoking

And that kind of ruined my day

As we slid down the mountain I felt heartbroken

'Cause now all my days would be filled with chokin'

The rain keeps falling and the steelworks work all day

Now don't get me wrong

I know a lot of folks who earn their pay

Working twelve hour shifts

So they could make it through the day

Five hungry kids in a three room shack

Living in the shadown of a chokin' smokestack

The rain keeps falling and the steelworks work all day

Out on the weekends living it up

Down to the beach, in a pick-up truck

Rock and roll music all night long

With my baby by my side, I feel so strong

Back at the tredmill

I'm wondering 'bout the way

I'm gonna get through the week

So I can pick up my pay

The foreman's telling me to fall in line

I'm here thinking that I'm doing just fine

The rain keeps falling and the steelwotks work all day

Out on the weekends living it up

Down to the beach, in a pick-up truck

Rock and roll music all night long

With my baby by my side

Yeah with my baby by my side

With my baby by my side, I feel so strong
