Holy cross by the old 97's

He worked for 37 years
Driving trucks
Not shifting gears
He never got it in his head
To settle down
He never wed
He liked the river
How it flowed
Unlike a breaker
Never to explode
It had no wires running it
It just went on and on and on
Until the ocean got to big
Holy cross
Electric association
It's more than a job
It's more like a damnation
It was my life
Now it's my loss
Holy cross
It was a honey of a night
He met his maker
He saw the light
The car was passing on a curve
Never slowed down
Never swerved
And in the hot glare of the lamps
He had regrets
He never learned to dance
There was no angel at his side
If there was a purpose
It became hopeless when he died
Holy cross
Electric association
It's more than a job
It's more like a damnation
Well it was my life
Now it's my loss
Holy cross x3
