Dynamite

Freight train running up the Santa Fe
Took the TNT blew the mountains away
Plum Creek flooded back in '65
We took it on the chin but the plant survived

Dad worked the line like his dad did before
My folks ain't rich but they ain't quite poor
DuPont closed the factory in '71
Said "Thanks and best wishes your work here is done"

Initiate. Detonate. Blow it up. Walk away
It's easier to just cut and run
Away from all the damage that's been done
I got dynamite in my blood
I got dynamite in my blood

Folks from California try to buy up the land
Dad won't sell he's a prideful man
Everytime I ask if he's gonna leave
He says "Son, this is where you're gonna bury me"

I can't see living in a dying town
It's like I left my soul in the lost and found
Every night I say that tomorrow's the day
Initiate, detonate, blow it up and walk away

Initiate. Detonate. Blow it up. Walk away
It's easier to just cut and run
But I'm my mother's only son
I got dynamite in my blood
I got dynamite in my blood

It's easier to just cut and run
The hand's been dealt, this game can't be won
But I got dynamite in my blood
I got dynamite in my blood
I got dynamite in my blood
I got dynamite in my blood
I got dynamite in my blood
I got dynamite in my blood
