Day In the Life of a Raliroad Spike
I come from Alabama
Just south of Birmingham
Born in the back of a steel yard
Where they made me what I am
Well, I wound up on a freight train
It was Colorado bound
Well, then that big John Henry
Put me in the ground
Through the heat of the summer, dead of the night
Blindin' rain and bright sunlight
Tell my story any way you like
Another day in the life of a railroad spike
I've seen the silver leaving Leadville
And the girls from Cripple Creek
Rich folks ridin' from Aspen
On their way to Pike's Peak
At the top of this old mountain
With the red rocks and columbines
I guess I'm gonna be here
Until the end of time
Through the heat of the summer, dead of the night
Blindin' rain and bright sunlight
Tell my story any way you like
Another day in the life of a railroad spike
Through the heat of the summer, dead of the night
Blindin' rain and bright sunlight
Tell my story any way you like
Another day in the life of a railroad spike
Just south of Birmingham
Born in the back of a steel yard
Where they made me what I am
Well, I wound up on a freight train
It was Colorado bound
Well, then that big John Henry
Put me in the ground
Through the heat of the summer, dead of the night
Blindin' rain and bright sunlight
Tell my story any way you like
Another day in the life of a railroad spike
I've seen the silver leaving Leadville
And the girls from Cripple Creek
Rich folks ridin' from Aspen
On their way to Pike's Peak
At the top of this old mountain
With the red rocks and columbines
I guess I'm gonna be here
Until the end of time
Through the heat of the summer, dead of the night
Blindin' rain and bright sunlight
Tell my story any way you like
Another day in the life of a railroad spike
Through the heat of the summer, dead of the night
Blindin' rain and bright sunlight
Tell my story any way you like
Another day in the life of a railroad spike
