End of Track versuri

End of Track lyrics by Lorne Greene

Intro
Ever hear of a Gandy dancer?
We’ll he’s the fella that laid the railroad tracks
He pushed those steel ribbons clear across this great land
He worked hard, and it was a lonesome life

Verse 1
‘Cross the prairie markin’ a course
Laid a road for the iron horse
With a blazing sun on my breaking back
A long long way till the end of track

Refrain
(Woah-oah, woah-oah)

Verse 2
Swinging the head of the engine bell
The hot air filled with a black smoke smell
And time with a big fool breakin’ the ground
Till the big boss yelling: ‘Keep layin em’ down!’

Refrain
(Woah-oah, woah-oah)

Chorus
Aah, it’s not thе sun I mind
Or the weight of the railroad tidеs
It’s the gal that I left behind
Keep seein’ those eyes, keep seein’ those eyes

Verse 3
Got no time for thinking now
Keeping this pace with a sweat of my brow
Raising the puff of the old smoke-stack
A long long way till the end of track

Refrain
(Woah-oah, woah-oah)

Verse 4
End of track and I needed rest
Might ease this ache, and out of my chest
So lift that hammer to get back and feel
And show how good man rides that steel

Refrain
(Woah-oah, woah-oah)

Chorus
Aah, it’s not the sun I mind
Or the weight of the railroad tides
It’s the gal that I left behind
Keep seein’ those eyes, keep seein’ those eyes

Verse 5
Just a scream and sledges pound
Layin’ em down on the hard rock ground
If you want your pay keep breaking your back
It’s a long long way till the end of track

Refrain
(Woah-oah, woah-oah)

Verse 6
Keepin’ it long and tight and time
We’ll get our rest at the end of line
I’ll drive my body till it falls apart
And work that woman right out of my heart

Refrain
(Woah-oah, woah-oah)

Outro
Aah, it’s not the sun I mind
Or the weight of the railroad tides
It’s the gal that I left behind
Keep seein’ those eyes (keep seein’ those eyes)
(Keep seein’ those eyes) (Keep seein’ those eyes)
Keep seein’ those eyes
