Let It Rock
In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
I gotta make some money to buy some brand-new shoes
I try to find somebody to take away these blues
"She don't love me", hear them singing in the sun
Payday coming when my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee, building right on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings, boys, and scatter about
We've got an on-schedule train coming two miles south
And everybody's scrambling, and a-jumpin' around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
The foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane
Tryna get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, I had to let it roll on
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
I gotta make some money to buy some brand-new shoes
I try to find somebody to take away these blues
"She don't love me", hear them singing in the sun
Payday coming when my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee, building right on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings, boys, and scatter about
We've got an on-schedule train coming two miles south
And everybody's scrambling, and a-jumpin' around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
The foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane
Tryna get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, I had to let it roll on
