[00:07.70] Friday night's pay night, guys fresh out of work
[00:12.20] Talking about the weekend, scrubbing off the dirt
[00:17.20] Some heading home to their families, some looking to get hurt
[00:22.20] Some going down to Stovell wearing trouble on their shirts
[00:28.08] I work for the county out on 95
[00:32.70] All day I hold a red flag and watch the traffic pass me by
[00:37.89] In my head I keep a picture of a pretty little miss
[00:43.08] Someday, mister, I'm gonna lead a better life than this
[00:46.39] (CHORUS) Working on the highway, laying down the blacktop
[00:51.27] Working on the highway, all day long I don't stop
[00:53.51] Working on the highway, blasting through the bedrock
[00:54.96] Working on the highway, working on the highway
[01:07.44] I met her at a dance down at the union hall
[01:11.81] She was standing with her brothers, back up against the wall
[01:17.06] Sometimes we'd go walking down the union tracks
[01:22.25] One day I looked straight at her and looked she straight back
[01:25.29] So I'm...
[01:28.73] (REPEAT CHORUS)
[01:47.45] I saved up my money and I put it all away
[01:49.69] I went to see her daddy but we didn't have much to say
[01:52.07] "Son, can't you see that she's just a little girl
[01:54.20] She don't know nothing about this cruel, cruel world"
[02:00.38] We lit out down to Florida, we got along all right
[02:05.64] One day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black-and-white
[02:10.76] The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day
[02:15.88] And the judge got mad and he put me straight away
[02:21.32] I wake up every morning to the work bell clang
[02:26.20] Me and the warden go swinging on the Charlotte County road gang
[02:29.45] I'm...
