《Welding Burns》歌词

[00:00:00] Welding Burns - Slaid Cleaves

[00:00:12] My father was a welder

[00:00:15] Down at the navy yard

[00:00:17] Up on the North Atlantic

[00:00:20] Where the winters come down har

[00:00:23] A union job some overtime

[00:00:26] Nobody would complain

[00:00:29] He went to work with a humble pride

[00:00:32] Through the snow and rain

[00:00:35] Some things you're born to

[00:00:37] Some things you gotta learn

[00:00:41] My father built his world on bone

[00:00:44] Muscle and blood and welding burns

[00:00:52] After work he did some drinking

[00:00:55] He'd get a little rough

[00:00:58] Just to take the edges off

[00:01:00] But he never got enough

[00:01:04] He'd hang his coat up by the door

[00:01:06] And light a cigarette

[00:01:09] Mama'd take his supper out

[00:01:12] Turn off the TV set

[00:01:15] Some things you're born to

[00:01:18] Some things you gotta learn

[00:01:21] My father built his world on bone

[00:01:24] Muscle and blood and welding burns

[00:01:30] I can see em down at Leigh's Mills Pond

[00:01:32] With the August sun warming her brown skin

[00:01:39] He promised he'd take her away

[00:01:41] But I think he knew

[00:01:43] Even way back then way back then

[00:02:10] Mama said They're hiring no need to graduate

[00:02:16] Maybe your dad could make a call to the 788

[00:02:22] I always thought I'd get away

[00:02:24] I thought I could rise above

[00:02:28] I don't remember anymore

[00:02:30] What I was dreaming of

[00:02:33] Some things you're born to

[00:02:36] Some things you better learn

[00:02:39] My father was born bone

[00:02:41] Muscle and blood and welding burns

[00:02:45] Some things you're born to

[00:02:47] Some things you gotta learn

[00:02:51] My father built his world on bone

[00:02:54] Muscle and blood and welding burns
